I’m new to the forum but also have the EPS issue (light on dash/heavy steering/not working sport button).
I’ve searched through your previous posts, firstly - thank you, very helpful! I can’t PM yet as this is my first post but you mentioned you have a WhatsApp chat with how you’ve just removed the EPS motor rather than the column. Are you able to PM me so I can respond? Happy to donate to forum funds
Not home until 2/6, but can forward some info for you.
If you’re anywhere near Norfolk I’m happy to assist.
It's a bit of a bitch to get to, I'd say 1hr taking it out and 1hr putting it back in.
Cant remember what I paid but it was under £200 for the EPS fix.

EPS Motor removal
Hi there, I’ve just remove my steering column as I too have issues communicating to the EPS ECU with a yellow light on dash. I’m unsure if there’s a way I can test the motor or ECU unit now it’s off or send it to a company. I’m near diss so just down the road! Any chance I could PM you? Cheers, Aaron

Shame you took the whole thing off rather than just the motor but hey ho.
I just hope you didn't yank the column to get it off the intermediate shaft or you may have buggered the bearings in that?
Feel free to PM me if you need help.
