In my case the TRE's were new, track rods themselves in VGC, no play in the NS rack bush and the fluid was new. My best guess is that the hydraulic valve in the rack was faulty in some way or had loads of play in it, hence getting a strange surging sensation through the steering when it was lightly loaded on a continuous radius turn.
Someone like Rippthrough will likely know the exact cause.
Oh god, I do NOT fancy getting that out now the engine is all back in and running!
But yes, the fluid is up to the right level. Unfortunately this doesn't sound like quite such an easy fix any more.
