Hi just had this on an l322 tdv8 vogue, with the steering wheel housing panel removed (3 screws) you can access the winding motor, 2 screws down it drops - from there you can use a 10mm spanner to wind down the wheel to a set position,
I took the motor out for 3 weeks and there was no adverse effect to the car whilst driving. the repair - which lasted on ly 3 weeks was to dremel open the motor housing - inside is a 10p coin sized plastic gear wheel that slips on the centre spindle - there is a fix somewhere on line to weld in a pin to stop it spinning - I chem welded mine back on but as I say it lasted 3 weeks now just sits in the centre position - the alternative is a new gear/motor at £100 or so on ebay but for a 50p gear from RS Im way to tight to spend that amount. its no to be confused with the in/out common fault though - totally different but easy to confuse for an idiot like me. hope that helps
