Steering 'play'

[Messa]

Had my C250TD '99 96k in for a service/MOT today and they have advised me that although it isn't a fail, i have got play in the steering rack.

Has anyone any experience of this, and any clue to cost to get fixed?

Also, is it something i need to worry about or can i safely wait until next MOT ?

Thanks,

Neil

PS. I had actually noticed a slow speed 'clunk' on steering/going over bumps previously, if anyone else has those symptoms.
