Steering column question

Post by ryushe » Thu Mar 23, 2023 11:21 pm

Here's probably a stupid question, but would the upper steering column for an '03-'06 E85 from an RHD car fit an LHD car?
Mine seems busted and it looks like there are a lot more second hand columns available in the UK than on mainland Europe. Seems like a better deal than buying a new one, they're expensive :(

The new ones are £2800, the part numbers are different for RHD and LHD but I know for a fact the intermediate shafts are slightly different but you can swap them. What parts need to be replaced? There are a few companies in the UK that can certainly fix the electronics for around £300
