611C is the torque sensor unfortunately. I would have tried a quick calibration of the steering angle sensor in INPA first but unlikely to fix a 611C problem I suspect.[/quote]

Thanks for the response.

Sorry to pick your brains further, but I have found a second hand steering column, but it is from an automatic. The breaker has suggested that this may cause an issue, however, do you know if this will cause any issues? I’ll obviously be making sure the part numbers match up etc. anyway before buying.

Thanks

Can't see the auto making any difference. One thing you should be aware of though is that any rack from a breakers should have a locking pin fitted (see item 7). I guess just a piece of wire will do but the problem otherwise is that the column can be spun freely which winds up the torque sensor and.. you guessed it... breaks the wire! It might not even be apparent when you fit the rack - the problem will come as you approach full steering lock. I would ask to see a picture of the rack first...no clip...no sale.
