Rob, I did it exactly the way you describe it. Of course you first may have a look if this topic is the culprit before you disconnect the U joint under the bonnet. You can see the most upper U joint when removing the lower half of the shroud. Let us know if this was the issue. Also have a look at the very first U joint just following the steering rack. When I remember it right this was also possible to be disconnected, just in case it should not be properly aligned.
