Suspect issues with the power steering system, after reading this thread I ran out to the car to check the fluid. It’s black and I reckon will be the original 15 year and 180000 mile old fluid.
Well I know what I’m doing this weekend now.

I’ve flushed 1 litre through mine, I should have bought more.
The initial batch of fluid that came out was black and stank. It’s still black and will need more changes, however the whining noise has gone and the steering is smooth again - so was obviously the old fluid causing it.
I’ll be getting a couple more litres and slowly renewing it over the next few weeks - letting the car get some use between changes. Don’t think it’ll ever be green again though!
