steering lock fault ...

Update for all on my random steering lock problem which was getting worse ....Ive Taken the steering lock off and found the pin that locks steering shaft is lock / jammed and won't return into motor housing causing causing clicking relays etc etc and warning on LCD i found the this black plastic block at side of pin has a spring based pin and this was holding steering shaft pin in up locked position... so I removed it just clips out once you get pressure of it as it jams into steering lock pin well and good, any way steering lock pin is free to move in and out so returned to car and all works as it should steering locks and unlocks fine no faults ...It would appear this black plastic block with spring pin holds the locking pin up and for some reason won't release it..cant be a safety feature as it holds pin in locked, not unlocked position so cant understand what went wrong, possible wear and tear but it all works fine .now..Just note if you replace this lock you will need a brand new one at (£220) plus coding on ECU, as they are coded to each car they are fitted to and second hand units cannot be used, well I could not find anyone that could do it anyway !!

Anyone who knows what the black plastic block with spring pin in was doing please tell !!
