Check the usual places... Around the base of the lever (normally under a flap op removable panel of some kind) and under the car

I'm no expert, but I believe they can have problems with their electric assisted power steering, apparently it's possible to get assistance on one lock but not the other for which you need A N other column!  :-? :-?

Right had a go today. Under the cat where the handbrake is there are 2 adjusters (one for each side). Using a 10mm socket i adjusted it a fairway and it did losen it slightly but not enough still.

Anything else it may be?
