HI SHYBOY, ive got a rover 200 bubble[until tomorrow yipee!] & had similar problems due to mine being bought as a cat "c", i dont know what youve checked but they do tend to weep from the pipes on the pump resovoir, also check balljoints on the track control arms & track rod ends as if these are seizing it will make it heavy, you can tell if the pump is working by starting it up & moving the steering, you will hear the engine note drop, if its the rack itself they are pretty easy to do but for ease take off totally the track rod ends as you have to slide the steering back & forth manually from underneath to clear suspension etc, i had to also knock the pin out of the gear selector rod but i was also changing the rear crossmember so it may not be necessary, also if you get one from a scrappy make sure its off a 25 as the 200 has different mounting holes i believe, as i say pretty easy to do but its all done from underneath,,,good luck anyway
