John. I suspect that you may have your steering box worm adjustment too tight. When I had my first Seven (about 50 years ago!) my then boss, who was an excellent motor engineer, told me that somewhere between one and one and a half inches at the steering wheel rim was about right.
My car has not quite 1and 1/4 ins at the rim (I have just measured it) and steers beautifully (well, beautifully for beam axled car) and with no tightness from lock to lock hot or cold.
