1. Have a little play in the steering, apparently it had a new steering rack about 20,000 miles ago, any ideas?
More than likely the steering column, common for these. There is a rubber bush at the bottom knuckle joint that wears over time. 2 general options, weld the joint or replace. It may also be the rack arms but unlikely, poss rod ends.
2. Seems to be high geared, 70mph in 5th equates to approx 3500rpm is this about right?
Yes seems same as mine
3. Brakes are really spongy, prob as I'm used to modern ones. Any recommendations for the best up grades, even 4/6 pots?
Got tarox 6 pots on mine which are great but would recommend simple things like brake fluid change first. I would not pay the extra for the 6 pots personnally unless you want more of a track toy as I dont think standard brakes are too bad.
thanks in advance, Paul.
