well folks, not sure if im posting this in the correct section.... ive noticed a bit of play in the steering column, say if i grab the wheel at the very top and very bottom and keep pressing on it back and forth theres a bit of play which seems to be around the area where the shaft would be going down through the ignition area, if i do the same from the 2 sides of the wheel theres no play. I removed all the covers and tried to thightin up the bolts around the ignition but they were dead thight, i get a small bit of vibration (well more of a rattle) up through the steering somtimes and i think this might be the cause, but how do i fix it? Is there some sort of a bearing inside or would it just be a case of needing a new shaft? has anyone else expierienced any kind of problems like this? Unsure

I've the same problem but can't offer any help, just put it down to the height adjustment being worth what it cost to make LOL

Have you done up all four bolts, or just the two at the front?

Yup, two more a little further down which are mounted on rubber washers, might be worth checking those as well.
