Re: Steering wheel probs

try putting the nut back on,
get a socket that fits on the nut without going over the flat sides,
give the socket a sharp blow with a mallet.
this method has worked for me numerous times.
as allready said,its the shock that does it :roll: . paul.

it is more than likely to be fuel related. paul.

Re: [Mk2] [NA] 4 Warning Lights
