Default Sticky up an down steering column - fixed

Kim's car has suffered from this problem since I bought it 2 years ago. Last week I manually drove it fully down and up bit by bit, after 10 cycles it started to work without stalling so I continued for a further 10 cycles.


Since then it has been working properly to reach the memory position unaided.

A good reminder to us all to use these features from time to time or they could lock up.

No one else drives my cars so once set, the steering and seat positions never get adjusted because I don't use the auto or memory features.

There's one job on the checklist for the weekend.

I'll try it again Bill, the car and I are having a bit of a separation right now so it'll be a couple of weeks.
