Thanks guys for provided info... I need for my Bee A1694603816 or older A1694603416.
On first link is proper one but looks as plastic locking mechanism is not complete and seller doesnt post outside UK...
Must investigate if its possible to remove that plastic mechanism from donor... much cheaper option for sure with less trouble.

this happens when one pushes too hard on the lever to adjust the steering , the little plastic part breaks , mine did so just before roadworthy time so i had to fix it fast , i threaded a bolt onto it so the lever locked it , made the pull lever under the steering wheel sit out a bit , but it worked fine .one has to be with this thing very light in pushing it back to lock the wheel .

Still didnt solve this as my ordered part came without that red clip which secure lever... must see if I can use red clip from old part. Pretty annoying...

At last I found time to fix this and do a proper job which will exchange temp solution with metal clip.

Short tutorial:
1. open lower panel with footwell light below steering wheel (2 bolts only) to access steering column
2. unsecure steering wheel that you can move column as you wish, detach that black steering position secure lever handle from rod (with screewdriver push one pin to remove) below wheel as rod can go inside dash
3. as securing system on column is broken you only need to unclip it from brown holder and slide it down via white plastic rail along with whole lever rod and red clip on top of it
4. when you removed item its easy to assemble new securing mechanism from donor steering column
5. slide new mechanism from bottom along white rail and pop out lever outside dash, then secure it on brown holder.
6. secure lever rod on top from inside dash with small plastic to stop tilting, put handle back and thats it. As new now... it cost me 40EUR for donor steering column.

Most of job go with hands "on blind" as its hard to see below dash.
