Hi,
Yet another problem,
Sitting in the car outside the shop yesterday waiting for the missus to hurryup.
I started twiddling the wheel, as you do, while the ignition was off, and realised the steering lock wasnt engaging!
I can here it click, but its just not locking.
Im not to botherd about it working to be honest, but will this lead to, or is it pointing out any other problems?
Is the a quick fix?
Cheers
Gav

Re: Steering Lock
Hey Gav - I have exactly the same problem with the steering lock...it is on the long list of niggly faults with the car, but I've just done the best part of 350 quid for a couple of sensors and a few bits and bobs at the Renault garage so it will have to wait.

If you haven't got any other symptoms, I would leave it alone. My understanding is that the whole mechanism is a nightmare with a weird left-handed shear head nut that breaks off and so on.

Best advice for Megane owners: sell it before it bankrupts you!

Re: Steering Lock

Re: Steering Lock
Hi snowy..
Did the steering lock suddenly start working when it cut out then?
I had a Megane 1 once, that cut out at 40, lost all power steering, mounted a kerb and managed to stop 1 inch from a wall!!

Re: Steering Lock
yeah, i was driving and it would cut out, no power steering or anything, but it would start by itself after a second. that lasted 1 day, the day after that it cut out, and LOCKED. nearly killing me and my mechanic. get it fixed people.
