Anyone know what year cavalier the steering column assembly comes from?

Thanks Bob, what about the column itself? Do all cavaliers have the tilt adjustment?

I found a column from a breaker in hull, my problem was my horn was only working now and then, finally traced to the tilt part of the column not earthing to the lower steering column. I think I solved it by working the tilt up and down and rotating it, seems to be ok now. This fault was a real pain to find but at least I have a spare column for a spare.

Found the horn faulty again, this time found that the earth does not go through the column to the rack, late models seem to have an earth wire off the top section of the tilt mechanism so I put one in and problem seems to have been solved, thanks for all the help, PS the Astra mk3 is supposed to be the same as the cavalier [ the bottom part of the column has to be changed for a tvr splined one.]
