    This is what I used:-

    http://www.halfords.com/motoring/engine-oils-fluids/gearbox-oil/slick-50-power-steering-fluid-500ml

    Suitable for Ford M2C. Stick a bottle in and see what happens.

    Annnnd it's scrap :( £4-500 quoted from 2 garages for pump and tubes. Guess I'm in the market for a new car!

    Why not just buy a second hand pump and pipes and fit it yourself it wont cost much then.

    Even if you did get it fixed at a garage then it may be worth spending the £400 to get it done if its a decent car. Otherwise you will end up buying another £800 car and have other problems to fix on top.
  • You just need to get the colour right. Red v Green. No need to pay anymore than $15 for power steering fluid.
    Good luck.
