Recently my electric steering wheel has started making a noise as though rubbing slightly, but only when moving in towards the dash, up/down and away from the dash is fine, any idea's?

Cos, I have a setting for getting out of the car, steering wheel goes in and up and seat goes back, and visa versa when I get in the car, ready to drive. :)

Don't think my OCD could cope with that - it would mean the seats don't line up when the car is parked :(

I'd have said one of the advantages of a 2 seater car! No one ever moves the passenger seat....

I knew it was related to the drop in temperature.
Funnily enough, I thought/hoped it was that, looks like it was, fingers crossed. :)
