Hi folks.  

Once again I come looking for the wisdom of the list.  My Midget has 
just begun to make some unusual sounds from the steering column.  
When I turn the wheel in either direction, I hear the distinct sounds 
of "flat friction."  It's not grinding, its not squeaking - like to 
pieces of rough plastic sliding against one another.  The sound 
oscillates as the wheel goes 'round.

It just struck me that I've only ever heard the sound  after a good
rainstorm.  God knows we've had a few of those in Vancouver the last
couple of weeks.  Might just be that the roof is overhead so I get
less ambient noise.....I dunno!

Any thoughts kind ladies and gentlemen?

Chris.
