The replacement is from a nissan micra from memory and trade price roughly $130 it is slightly longer but it still fits in.

only a couple of spares left over...
also don't let your kids in the car while doing this as my son touched the bit on the steering wheel that spins and has the cruise control and airbag plugs on it and when i took it for a drive and turned the wheel something felt tight then bang. that thing broke and now no cruise control and airbag light is flashing... something to fix today.
