A clicking sound like broken plastic in behind the casing. The steering locked while driving, It seems to be the bit of broken plastic catching. When I stopped the car I kept turning the steering wheel right round both ways and it still kept clicking. I took the casing off and I can see where its coming from but think I need to take the steering wheel off. I need advise on how to take the steering wheel off.

You may well find it comes off without the need to get a pulley...mine did. Also remember air bag safety when removing yours (if fitted )

All Omegas have driver airbags, so disconnect battery and leave for 5 mins before doing anything!

I've never tried an Omega's wheel. I know I bent the steering wheel of my Manta trying to get that bugger off. :-?

Thank's for the replys lads got it sorted, it was a part of the indicator sticking the steering. Its now fine but i have to turn the indicator of by hand now .It scared the s--t out of my other half when the steering locked while she was driving . she's all good ;D:y

God, that's not good though, the steering wheel locking :o
You should have a cruise stalk fitted to yours now anyway, then get the cruise enabled via VX tech 2 software! Shouldn't cost your more than about £50 and it's all plug & play, just replace the stalk and plug in the extra lead that's tucked away.
Otherwise, i've got a stalk you can have if you want it?
