    Team Heko came to play on Sunday....






    I then sorted the heat pads in the seats - all sorted now and tostie ar$es all round (well in the front !)

    Apart from a top to toe clean Dimitri is now ready for the road !!

    Sill plates were added yesterday on all 4 sills...





    I also noticed on all 3 of my Meriva's that the steering column was making a loud clicking noise and I remembered that there is a field remedy to sort this out, so here's a mini "how to" for other users...

    Remove top cowl of steering column - this has two clips on the edge next to the steering wheel - rotate steering wheel where appropriate to gain access..





    If your model has the adjustable column remove the adjuster handle - one T20 bolt...



    And remove the rubber trim around the key barrel ...



    Remove the bottom part of the cowl - there are two screws in the upper part of the column and one underneath - all T20 heads...





    Unscrew the two T20 screws holding the dash trim panel in place...



    Remove the trim plug and swing down the air vent - you do not need to fully remove as its really awkward to get back into the right position...





    Next job is to remove the steering column motor - all you are doing is removing two E10 bolts and moving it about 1" towards the right to gain access to the splines - so no undoing of the wiring is required....



    Once undone and moved an inch or so to the right it exposes the splines like so...



    You need to obtain some silicone grease - the stuff from Vauxhall is hideously expensive so get some from ebay or amazon.....



    And smear a healthy lump onto the splines like this....



    And in the Haynes Manual tradition refitting is the reversal of removal !!!

    Once all back together take it for a drive and after a couple of miles the noise should cease completely !
