If it says steering angle sensor then that's what i would change next..

(Well that and the gearbox before someone pips up!!)


They have been known to fail and do get a lot of use.
(Sensor and gearbox!!)
If things were meant to be easy, then I will soon complicate them....
Please note...
Anything I say is only from my personal experience and knowledge..
I don't assume to know everything, and know there is a lot I don't know..
But then I could be talking bollox.. O:-)
