Steering column assembly

A steering column assembly comprising:

• a steering column shroud having an inner shroud portion and an outer shroud portion,
• an end of the inner shroud portion being located within an end of the outer shroud portion so that the inner and outer shroud portions can be adjusted telescopically to adjust the overall length of the steering column shroud, in which the outer shroud portion is provided with an elongate slot that extends axially along the outer shroud portion and the inner shroud portion is also provided with an elongate slot that extends axially along the inner shroud portion, the two slots at least partially overlapping at all times over a range of reach adjustment of the steering column assembly,
• and further comprising an end stop that extends through the slot in the outer shroud portion and the slot in the inner shroud portion, the end stop being free to move along both of the two slots when the steering column assembly is positioned between an extreme reach in and reach out positions, and arranged to strike an end of the inner shroud portion slot and an end of the outer shroud portion slot when the steering column assembly reaches the reach out position and to strike opposing ends of the two slots when the steering column assembly reaches the reach in position
• wherein the end stop comprises a stem that passes through the two slots and a head that prevents the end stop from being drawn through the two slots whilst permitting sliding movement of the end stop.
