Squeaky steering rack

[macca]

I'm 3 weeks into owing my first TVR (A chimaera 450, 97). Am I just about to experience the lesser delights of a hand built car, I ask myself? When the engine has warmed up after a mile or so, I get a rubbery squeaking noise from the power steering , it sounds very close to the cabin. Has anyone had the same problem? Simple solution or time to get the wallet out? Thanks for any comments/pointers in advance.

I only have to turn the steering wheel a very small amount - 1/16 of lock back and forth. The sound is like two pieces of rubber being twisted against each other. Imagine there was a bit of water between the rubber and that would sum up the sound perfectly. Thanks for your comments Dr C
