Went for a wheel alignment today, got told my rack end has a little play. Where abouts would I get a replacement from?

Sports steering wheel? Have you modified the steering column or something. I have had a "sports steering wheel" for many years and have never been pinged on it.

Certifiers note down everything :)

As the car didn't have factory Airbags you don't NEED a cert for the steering wheel however the certifier will note it just to be safe rather than sorry.

Argh forgot to mention that, unfortunately you do. On that note I'd better check mine is ok.

Finally put the new wheels on.. Much better.
