Re: Steering Column

Think you're right - the softly-softly approach is obviously not going to work.

I'd start by driving a tapered wedge into the split in the clamp and seeing if that has any effect.

Re: Steering Column

SUCCESS - a large right angled screw driver with a large ring spanner hooked through it making a tool about 18" long and twisted against the steering wheel nut with a number of obligatory grunts. Damage not too bad - part of the clamp has broken and part of the end of the tube seems to have delaminated and stuck to the alloy of the disc, but not a disaster. However if anyone knows the whereabouts not a replacement alloy ign/gas disc please let me know. Thanks for all the suggestions.

Re: Steering Column

Cherished suppliers keep the Gas/ignition control plate. It's part No BM128 in the A7Components catalogue.
