Default Steering wheel loose

I had my car stolen last december, main dealer fitted new ignition barrel, the steering wheel has now cone loose(you can rock it slightly back and forth.
Given the lack of available manuals can anyone give me the info on how to tighten it back up?

Is it the actual wheel that rocks or the whole of the column ?? Cannot see why the dealer would have to remove the S wheel to replace the barrel, Is the column adjuster lever fully seated home, are the bolts tight on the column where it fastens to the bulh head (UP under the Pedals).
Check the above

I've not done this but.....

The airbag is secured by two screws/bolts from the back of the steering wheel.
Keep all of your bits (heads etc.) away from the airbag whilst your fscking with it.
To get to them, you may have to remove the steering column shroud(s).

When tightening the wheel don't put too much force into the steering column. Try to hold the wheel back with one hand whilst tightening with the other.
