Default Really Bad Steering Coloumn

There is a stupid amount of play in the steering coloumn on my ERST, to the point where you can move it up and down and also if you push the top of the steering wheel towards the windscreen it moves as well

Any ideas what is needed??

I've heard you can replace a bush in the coloumn but cant remember to much about it

Its going to the RS Central day in 2 weeks so need it sorted asap

Cheers Matt_B
