Yes AU wheels will fit EF/EL

EFFALCON has a AU one if im correct..

that steeringwheel is availble on EBay and sold at ford aswell... Blue/black/Silver/Red are the colours available IIRC

nice! i found them for about $275 but that's without the center pad or any of the center

main reason why i was looking for another wheel is because my air bag isn't working and im 95% sure it's the actual bag

the air bag is an expensive replacement.

how do you know the air bags not working?
there is a problem that when the air bag fuse blows, u have to reset the system to clear the fault.

yep
you need to reset the air bag system.

if you're not a member on fordmods, then join up and look here:
hxxp://www.fordmods.com/phpBB2/documents.php?doc=3

look at the section on clearing codes.

Does that mean you can use your existing EF steering wheel center or something? :

Yeah, AU and EF/EL wheels are interchangable.
you can just whack your EF/EL airbag onto it and you're laughing (except for the colour)
i painted mine with vinyl dye so its black like the steering wheel, been good so far

mrbt1: the AU momo steering wheels are an awesome wheel to hold, much nicer to hold then the normal XR ones.

If the horns not working and the air bag light is on.. Clock spring is most likely broken
