check the locking mechanism...it has a screw that sometimes can became loose, the screw is really visible under the unit. you have to take the cover under the steering wheel until you see it. post back further.

Bear in mind that the screw securing the steering lock mechanism is left handed and also probably a snap-off head design. In other words, proceed with caution!

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