Glad you got it sorted

Good job ..... 

I am a tad concerned though how long the "rest" will last ...  something has caused the plastic to break and bits to fall off and jam ..

You haven't really found and removed the cause, so there must be a chance that the same will happen again to the rest of the plastic .....

and IMHO steering comes under the heading "safety critical"  !!!

It would not be good if it were to jam again at any sort of speed ... 

Just my thoughts, especially as you mention kids ...

OK, got the airbag off, got the nut off - but the wheel won't shift.  I'm expecting it to be tight but can't get any movement.  Any tips for getting it loose?

I know it's too late now but this is what you needed  ......

Thanks for the conern - I think it was caused by holding on to the indicator stalk when its trying to cancel.  We live on a very twisty housing estate and I myself have done this several times.  The indicator is then forced against the plastic reset mechanism which is obviously what caused the breakage through long term stress.  So, a change in driving habits should see it right.  Also when I say 'jam' you can still turn the wheel but the resistance suddenly increases and then frees up again.

Having said all that I will source a replacement - easy job now I know how to do it so a no-brainer.
