Follow up to my 5 February post. Prior to dropping my car into Penrith MG I did check the steering column UJ and there was no movement in the section of the steering column mentioned in other posts and the video. The service report states “removed shrouds, tightened all column bolts, tightened height adjuster, checked universals, tested and all ok, no knocking observed on test drive” they added “steering wheel play up and down of 5mm observed and is same as another same model vehicle.” This has resolved the steering knocking I was experiencing prior to the service. So, it appears I didn’t have the same UJ fault as reported in other posts, but the bolts securing the steering column had come loose. The fact that these bolts on such an important part of the car came loose is still a matter of concern. The car is only 8 months old, done 20,000klm on good quality asphalt roads, nothing done or hit that would loosen bolts. I firmly believe that this should trigger a worldwide recall by MG, to check UJ, check and tighten all steering column bolts.
