Does it mean that your steering wheel doesn't lock when ignition is off??

i'd read what muskrat has said! i think that is right, lift if up, have a gander and if there is a hole that looks like it should have summat in it, put summat in it!!!! we're not having a nice time at the mo with our MOTs and Dubs are we?!!! |

That aint it, what you should have on your track rod (the rod that operates the steering part of the front suspension)  No. 30 and 31 on the diagram. is either: one of these  or one of these  On the diagram number 39&40 is a castle nut and split pin as in the last picture, or just go for a nylock nut, as in the first picture. |
