Clio 16v Steering Column

[Tom_16v]

It seems more than likely that my valver has succumbed to one of the clio's common problems and I have 'excessive play in the steering'

If it turns out to be the part on the steering column that's knackered I'm gonna get a new one and get it fitted.

Now....where can I find a new one, and how much? GSF list the racks, but not columns

Also, a Renault specialist garage, how long would you think it would take to fit one? Just so I can get an idea of labour charges....

Cheers people!

Just exploring all my options.....

Mine was picked up on at MOT.

I was breaking a 16v at the time, column in that had no play they said they would fit that coloumn for 3 hours labour.

Until the looked further and said they can weld up the joint for me instead. few hours later all done :D

new one is around 200 notes from renault (iirc only place that stock em) plus labout to fit which will be around 3-4 hours i'd guess

or u can get it welded for 30 quid!

u watch a garage quote u that, they lie mate! it'll take em half n hour, they'll try n charge u half a day! hence we all do our own work as much as poss!

So hands up who can do a column in less than an hour hehe?

& who's the closest to north wales!

List price for a new column is about 170 odd from what I've found out so far without actually speaking to Renault, although I might be able to get that down.
