Hello

I've noticed that I get a sqeaky noise from the steering wheel sometimes (generally when making minor adjustments around the straight ahead position). Any ideas?

Thanks

Strut pan bearings? Perhaps the steering column is touching the body? With the steering tilt in more than one up/down position?

seems to be coming from just behind the steering wheel, might be something rubbing but just wondered if this was a common problem?

Maybe the sliding horn contact needs cleaning and greasing?
It's easy to take the covers off the steering column, then just spray some WD40 in there if you can't work out where the squeak comes from!

Thanks Ben, that sounds like the most likely solution, I'll give that a try
