Check your stalks, they can wear out at the base.  Give it a nudge at the base and see if it sets the washers off.  This used to happen to mine exept i'd get a plume of smoke off the steering column  :shocked: 

If its that then GSF and Eurocarparts do spares.  New ones solved the problem for me. :smiley:
