I have a H reg frst which some smack-heads nicked last night
Fortunatly the immobiliser saved the day and they did not get it started , they just pushed it away instead.
However i have it back in my possesion now, it just needs some bits fixing.
1) When they broke the steering/ignition lock they not only destroyed the lock but they smashed two of the lugs on the back of the steering wheel that allow it to lock, is this part of the wheel itself, part of the boss, or part of the column?

2) Ive been told that the column will need replacing due to the fact the steering lock is broken, (although the ignition barrel itself still works, you just cant lock the wheel). Is this the case??

Thanks in advance guys, your help will be much appreciated.
Luckily we have a name for the theiving scum so he'll be getting the treatment
