Plastic sounding clicking from steering wheel

Hi folks,
Another issue with this car! Whenever I turn the steering wheel (usually at very low speeds, doing manoeuvres for example) there is a plastic clicking noise just behind the steering wheel. Sounds like someone is slowly scrunching up a packet of crisps. Can anyone tell me what this can be?
2004 Megane Mk2 1.5dci

Actually, just looked at the haynes manual and I'm guessing it's the airbag rotary connector. Is this true? If so, has anyone replaced one? Haynes gives it a 4 spanners!!! Surely not!?

I believe this was quite a common problem on this era of Megane...
I had the same problem, and yes it was the airbag rotary connector.
The airbag rotary connector is also known as the clock spring.
