Does it sound like its grinding against grit/sand

Tis a common problem. Happens to mine every so often and shantybeater had it the other day too. Just spray a wolloping of WD40 around the joint of the steering wheel - if you can, take the surround cover off and give it a good ol' blast - will remove all the grit and it should sound sweet again

happened in my old one, just some dirt as the people above have mentioned. blast it with air or just blow into it and adjust the wheel up and down.
