Just stuck a new steering rack on my phase 1 megane 225,as a side issue, took me 2 and a half hours, garage quoted me 7.3 hours!?
Anyway, Asr/Esp warning light is on dash now. First steering rack i've put on myself, i 'visually only' tried to get new rack centred up to match length, position of old one, also marked positions for tracking etc
I believe the car has steering angle sensors that maybe aren't liking something?
Would it be worth me disconnecting rack from u-joint inside the car, taking off track rod ends and just manually measuring for centrality say measuring between inner wings and end of inner track rods??

Did you block the steering wheel to stop it moving whilst the rack was off ?

if its anything like the clio, to reset the steering angle, you take the steering wheel off and on the squib there is a little window that has to show a certain colour for the sensor to reset as such.

I knew someone would mention that! :-) Yes, steering wheel was bolt straight all the way through the operation.
