I'm sorry but for a service item the positioning of these filters is moronic at best. Well done Citroen - now spend some money on ergonomics lessons for your designers! Anyway finally got the job done but it's a LOT easier (for RHD cars) if you first remove the white plastic air channel that's in your way. There's a clip top front of the part. Press that in and wiggle the channel off its seating (takes a bit of brute force but you won't ruin the part). Once that's off you'll have a bit more clearance to tackle the pollen filters. Note that the lower dash tray bolt is a Torx 20 and the lower clip on the right (holding the dash to the carpet) is threaded but mine was knackered so I just pulled it up with a regular trim tool - went back on ok.

Oh mate thats amazing! Thanks so much. Just back from the garage, was prepared to order a steering column from eBay and get it fitted. Decided to do a bit of googling, and found the instructions (from 2009 so they were missing the diaghrams and images...). Thought to myself that surely someone has done a KZbin video about that and there it is! Looking forward to trying the fix later this week! Will post back how it went.

Now I know exactly what is causing the problem and how to repair it. Many thanks - Ian

Correct. It's just in case you over loosen it and it moves too far. Realistically you probably won't need it but there's no harm in having a reference point is there

You are able to remove the fuse under the bonnet to cancel the power steering out but it isn't a very comfortable drive. It is a good way of testing to see if your EPAS unit is to blame though; as once removed the steering won't fall to the left or right anymore. It's located on the passenger side, under the bonnet, under a white fuse cover.
