Replace steering column bush

I had a little, 2mm, play in the steering wheel, traced to the nylon lower bush.

Didn't feel right, apart from being an MOT issue, so swapped out the whole thing.

The parts are cheap, new on the left, old worn one on the right.

The bush had ridden back up the column. I'd seen plenty of pictures before the build of jubilee clips to back up the standard sliding clip, ignored them and now learned the hard way - its worth adding!

Interesting job replacing the bush and its mounting with the car built - last time I did this there was nothing in the engine bay and the scuttle was not installed. New installation shows the inner bush pushed fully through.

And the steering column moutnings - replaced with new nyloc nuts towards the driver this time - much easier to install & remove when the scuttle is on due to limited room behind to weald a spanner.

I did contemplate upgrading the bushing to a full metal bearing, decided not to because:

1. This arrangement has been fine for 4 years and 18.4k miles

2. Its a relatively straightforward like for like parts swap
3. I need to focus on the MOT and not make maintenance jobs larger than they need to be
