isetta Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 i don't know the answer, but these have the electric power steering built into the steering column under the dashboard which might complicate matters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian Lanc Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 Did you ask the MOTer just where the play is exactly located聽? Could be that the steering rack is damaged ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evo533 Posted February 8, 2020 Author Share Posted February 8, 2020 They sounded like they didn鈥檛 know to be honest they mention that as it was crash damaged that there could be a type of crumble zone in them ...聽 there鈥檚 one on eBay for 拢25 ... are they easy to change ?聽 聽 and thanks for replying guys ... 馃檹聽 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobr Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 There is a crumple zone.聽 聽They are designed to collapse in a crash to save injury to the driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evo533 Posted February 9, 2020 Author Share Posted February 9, 2020 Do I need to remove the dash to change it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't think so but remember to disconnect the battery well before you start any work, last thing you want to happen is bashing the steering column and the airbag deploys.
