I'm trying to find a post from a couple of months back - Sophos (i think) had problems with vague/wobbling steering wheel and was unfortunately charged about 100 pounds for a part that someone ( MarksDTM?) showed to cost around ten pounds. I think it was something like a steering resistor relay? I have spent an hour trying to find this with no joy. My steering wheel wobbles at 50+ and i though this could be a cheap fix for it before doing other things.

I appreciate this is probably the vaguest request ever but maybe it will jog someone's memory? Any pointers would be welcomed

try looking for servotronic. That the box of electrickery that tied into the speed sensitive steering.
I think your problem though, is wheel/s out of balance.

Thanks for the advice. I keep telling myself i must get down to WIM sometime

AAeye, 5 stud balancer for you i reckon.  

is it only speed related, or on the brakes as well?

Does a 2.2 have servotronic? Had a feeling it was just on V6s.

Vibration sounds more like a wheel out of balance, TBH.

Quite correct there kevin .... I wondered when one of you would notice that !      
I didn't look at his car, just answered the question!

It is only speed related - brakes work fine
