| Knee capped. Steering column | |
Just got in from a night shift and the FFRR tried to knee cap me when I parked up.
Just stripped it down and the tilt motor has failed. Looks like the worm gear has eaten its self.
Part number QME500070 . On the side of the motor is 0390201703 just thought I'd make reference as that number couldn't be found on a google trawl but hopefully others searching fullfatrr.com will find this and be able to find the correct part number.
The motor appears to work when not on the shaft but a test with a paor of mole grips and the shaft held by hand shows the worm gears are clearly slipping.
Oddly just rang the local dealer - £162 plus vare and tare. Thats actually cheaper than any sites I've found on tinternet. Have to wait till Tuesday mind...
Once the motor is removed I can actually adjust the column tilt by using a 13mm ratchet spanner 
Never rains but it pours!
