Could it be because it's an old headset, the rubber's gone hard and I need a new one, costing as little as £50 from CK?

New o rings are £2 at Winstanleys. Glad you've got it sorted, and using washing up liquid means you'll have a lovely clean steerer tube.

Thanks for the tip. I don't think I damaged it, but at that price I'll buy a couple just in case!
