Spongy(?) Steering

I've been noticing lately that I have quite a bit of steering play in my TD5. I popped the bonnet and twisted the steering column and found that I can turn the column by hand a few degrees either way, but when I let go it bounces back to straight. The drop arm is turning when I do this but not a lot, it's more of a wiggle. Is this to be expected? My steering is somewhat heavy so I'm suspecting the power steering pump may need replace.

I don't know anyone else with a Defender so it makes it hard for me to know what's normal for these things. Can anyone tell me if this is normal, or what I should be suspecting? Thanks.
