Renault Scenic - PAS fault - niloc

My mother has had a PAS fault with her 54 Scenic. It has only done about 40000 miles and regulary serviced. The garage has quoted £1700 for the repair which is about what the car is worth. The main cause of the high price is that the whole of the column has to be changed and Renault have to issue a code of some sort to be put into the cars computer. Has anyone found a way round this?

Try car recovery yards/ scrap yards for a complete steering column.

WHy cant an independent repair garage not get the code.

or

get it repaired and get Renault to give it the required code?

Try the Renault forums.
