No, thats on the column. You'll need to press the clock spring in (as it would when the wheel is placed over it), it should then rotate
I've not done this "YET"..,
but it's a very informative read..,
thanks all,

Well this has turned into a right old ball ache.I am now on my third squib as they keep sending ones with the wrong connectors on the back, I have now decided to just stump up for a brand spanker at £72,at least I will know the spring unit is correct.
The problem now is, I have to go and pick up the part 10 miles away across town and I took the old unit apart to take the stalks out,and in the process mullered(completely removed!)the old ribbon.
I am safe to put the stalks and wheel back on and drive across town with the airbag and horn unplugged, I can't see why not as they were connected to a dodgy clock spring any way.

Yes that'll be fine if not plugged in, just have no horn and the airbag light.
I drove a mk3 with the drivers airbag physically removed for a few days back in 2009, and I survived

None of the cars I drove between 1971 & 2002 had an airbag. At least half a million miles and I'm still here to write about it
.That's not to say I'd be happy driving very far without one now. LadyKitching had a bad head-on (not her fault) a few years back & if she'd been driving with the airbag disabled would most certainly not have survived.
I'd certainly feel vulnerable now driving a classic without seatbelts or a collapsible steering column.

It's always the other idiot that causes the accident

Glad to hear its sorted
Did you manage to swap the stalks also so the colour all matches?

How much did they set you back out of interest
