If it's allowable within your local regs, then I'd definitely take the opportunity.
Given the amount of stuff you'll be taking off during the engine swap, the access to the parts you need to get to ... |

Can you get to it all without disassembly ?

This was my thread on my solution to the poor fit.
Brilliant thanks Matt!
I know I'd read it on here, it's on my list of things to do! |

it really is a terrible design.
When I get some spare time (!) I intend to try to put a fixing in there to hold the two together. I think it was a thread where some cable ties allowed the 2 pieces ... |

How is yours when stationary?
If it's the UJs, it'll.be there all the time, moving or not.
If it's only while moving, and changes with engine speed/acceleration, then I'd think it's got more to d ... |

2 weeks on, and i thought I'd better update this:
The more I drove it, the more I thought the stiffness was a bit notchy and definitely was there when stationary. So, my money was on it being the ... |

As an owner of a base spec 110, I also don't' think you're missing anything.
But, I wouldn't be surprised if the carpets fitted to the 'nicer' models, are foam backed to some extent, so almost 2 la ... |

So, following some investigation (in the rain...)
The PS reservoir has plenty of clean fluid in it.
There are no leaks visible at any part of the steering system

Thanks BlackWolf.
I'd definitely like to avoid total steering failure if I can...

It's definitely a sudden change.
The difflock light isn't on (and it works), but I wonder if it's possible to have knocked the lever a tiny bit so it's almost engaging. The lack of self-centerin ... |

Over the last couple of days, my 110 has developed a weird steering issue.

it's constantly cha ... |
