I'm looking at changing my c1 steering wheel for a c2 one. The question is are there any problems :cry:
 
No; as long as you have the correct T30 long reach bit and a good dose of strength to crack the, usually, very tight airbag retaining bolts.
Always a good idea to disconnect the battery before messing with anything airbag related.
 
If memory serves me right you will need a c2 clock spring as well due to different connections

i have found them all to be exactly the same thus far

Agreed. When I changed my C1 wheel for a C2, I made sure to get the C2 clockspring with it, as I'd read it was an essential part of the swap. I even went as far as buying a spare C2 clockspring before I started in case I somehow managed to break one. However, when I removed the C1 wheel and clockspring and closely examined it, I found all three to be identical, right down to the part number.
 
Don't talk to me about looms for seats, I have a full set of leather seats which won't fit my car, as I have a totally different loom in my coug than what's on the leather seats.
