teddyboy2 Posted February 27, 2021 Share Posted February 27, 2021 As I needed to replace my Tourer washer motor, I did the recommended procedure of turning steering wheel to full lock and remove wing liner. Bad move, My steering locked and would not move and the ignition key would not turn either. So in desperation, I lightly tapped the ignition lock a few times, smeared graphite powder on the key, I then jacked the front of the car up to lessen weight, Bingo!. something worked, steering and ignition back to normal.

Vauxhall Owners Club Posted March 1, 2021 Share Posted March 1, 2021 Hi....welcome to the Forum That sounds like the rack went to the point where the steering couldn't cope with the angle and weight on the nearside wheel and by lifting the weight resolved it. Interesting bit of information and thanks for sharing it with us. By the way, did you sort the washer pump? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
