These two jobs anre the only two garage didn't recommend...
Again, i use ATF-U in my PAS, found it's better than Dexron II-D which it's compatible with among others.

Get yourself an empty Pot Noodle pot and one of these syringes :

Use the syringe to empty the PAS reservoir, top it up with new fluid and then start the engine, turn the steering lock to lock a few times until the bubbles stop appearing, topping up again if necessary. Repeat at weekly intervals until the fluid remains clean, usually 3-4 repeats.
Discharge the syringe into the Pot Noodle pot, being white it will show the dirt in it. Decant at your leisure into a larger sealed container for disposal or allow to settle and use it to help prevent rust, paint wooden fences or similar
