I have this intermittent problem, WD40, and its fine for a week or so. Always happens this time of year. Anyone know the original part it off/sourced from?

Power Steering Leak? Had the same problem on mine but after a refurb all is as smooth as silk now.

It's worth checking the power steering fluid level as well (buy the drivers side hinge of the bonnet)

I found the UJ siexed on many of my TVRs.
It is cleverly positions just inside the fornt wheelarch to catch every last bit of road muck, water and salt the front tyres throw up.

I free'd mine off with WD40, cleaned it and wrapped an makeshift gaitor made of an old bike inner tube round it.

Seemed to solve it.
