jonny, did u ever resolve this ?

my ph2 is doing something similar now.
its like where i have an inch or so of play on the steering wheel.
approch a corner, turn the steering wheel, nothing until you have moved it about an inch and then the steering responds, happens whichever way you turn the steering wheel.
lower ball joints were replaced a couple of months ago and trackrod ends done just over a year ago.

I'd say steering column for than un neo.

pull the gaiter back and pack it with 'stuff', like card etc make it solid, if that sorts it problem found.
