Thought I'd have a stab at refreshing the power steering fluid as the steering has felt a little heavy after that of our other car when parking or slow speed manoeuvring. Got 2 litres of fluid from Halfords - £21.58 for 2 litres of CHF11S delivered. I'd already watched the video from SiRobb, and while it doesn't deliver the full-fat experience of the 'Volvosweden' (?) channel, it doesn't involve the same degree of dismantling.
First problem, the reservoir on our P3 is different to the one in SiRobb's video. Syphoning worked, but each attempt netted only around 100cc of fluid, which was a bit mucky, but not horrendous.
It was then a case of syphon, top-up, lock-to-lock a few times, syphon, top-up several times until the fluid looked clean-ish. I'll then run it for a day or two and do the same again.
