Well after a bit of research it appears the two UJs on the steering column are prone to drying out due to their proximity to the turbo and down pipe, particularly on cars with a decat as there are no heat shields (and cars that spend too much time in the garage and not being driven). So I've just spent half an hour with a can of penetrating fluid spraying them and moving the steering from lock to lock to free them up and then a liberal coating of spray grease. Not had a chance to take it out yet but if it helps I'll take the UJs out completely, clean and grease them properly and put it back together again.
