Right, original gear knob is bolloxed ( more importantly, it's off ) and the new and tasteful 'Sparco' one is attached. | |

Was annoying! You could try and get it replaced under warrantee, but they wouldn't change mine. | |

Yeh, I did like the sxi one but all the silver faded on mine and then started to flake off! I don’t wear rings and my gf hardly ever drives the car, but they wouldn’t do it under warrantee so that’s why I changed mine. | |

Right, I'm armed with a hacksaw, bolt cutters and a spoon. | |

Mine came off, in this manner, I heated it with a heatgun from a distance for about 15 secs, till it was hot to touch but not melting the plastic ! Then I sprayed RS aerosol freezerspray on it, for about 10 secs, then grabbed a cloth and it twisted right of. | |

Same here after buying a nice steinmetz one for my Sxi, three hours later with me pulling and twisting I had no luck. I then took it to interior fitter near me who just laughed then got an industrial dremmel out nad cut it off!!:lol: | |

Having just wasted over an hour of my life attempting to remove this item. It seems Vauxhall don't want you to remove it and have seemingly welded the bloody thing on. However, any future attempts by anyone should heed this. You will not be able to save the standard knob. It will have to be obliterated/cut off. I'm sure someone here will correct me and say how easy it was but this was the standard SRi chrome effect one and is not the same as other models. Any other comments welcomed of course. |
