After 5 or so years of drilling into the side of the steering column mechanism and lubing with silicone the bodge/fix has come undone ....

last night the car was a bit iffy releasing the steering column lock and this morning its given up completely , I cannot get the steering lock to allow the wheel to move or be unlocked so its failed in the locked position , I can start the car and move the key after jumpering pins 1 and 7 on the connection block but steering remains locked .

SO I'm pretty much up creek , I do remember someone stripping down the mechanism and fixing the issue but can't find the information , golgle skills are letting me down , I don't fancy spending land rover prices on a new column , has anyone got the link to the information for sorting this out myself ?

Hi, you should check this video: [url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCnjsXe_oqg&feature=emb_logo&ab_channel=RobTheCarGuy

This is for model year 2006 (old interior), and I see that you have 2007 model, but I assume that the wires underneath are the same. [/url] RR HSE 4.4 2006 LPG

very helpful thanks

will update tomorrow whether I have fixed or not

Fixed following the guide above, just got to remember the courtesy lights need to be on to start the car. Could wire a simple switch into the console by using pins 1 and 7 on the now defunct connector, but that's for a future date.

eta , I now have a b0001-13aa and b0003-13aa fault code and airbag light on , so soemthing has went awry

drivers airbag codes , any ideas?
