Whats the easiest way to centre my steering wheel....slightly on the wonk and has been for a while, starting to annoy me now! Not too hot on the spanners so the easiest way please lol

Cheers :)
 
If only slight then the adjustment of the length of the drag-link (the rod between the n/s axle and the steering box) will sort it out. longer or shorter depending on which way the wheel is facing.
How to do it is in the workshop manuals.
 
to do it right you should center steering box /count turn if no slot and hole(for aligning with drill bit or pin) on bottom rear of steering box ,then adjust wheel by either removing wheel and refitting correctly or removing uj on steering linkage and refitting in right position,then drag link is set to put road wheels straight if out

NOTE: If steering wheel is not in straight
ahead position when vehicle is travelling
in a straight line, drag link length is
incorrect and is pushing drop arm away from
central position.
Drag link adjust
15. Right hand drive vehicles - if steering wheel is to
right, drag link is too long. If steering wheel is to
left drag link is too short.
Left hand drive vehicles - if steering wheel is to

16. Adjust drag link until steering wheel points
straight ahead when vehicle is travelling in a
straight line.
CENTRALISE STEERING BOX
1. To centralise the box, insert a suitable peg (hole
size 8.06 mm) into the rear of the drop arm and
into the steering box casing to enable rapid and
accurate setting on centre.
 
you can adjust wheel ,but its usually best practice to set pas box central first ,then steering wheel (as when steering wheel is set to centralised pas box,setting road wheels is easier as you use drag link then to put steering wheel back to correct position
