Think mine needs doing as to my knowledge it's never been done and there's an occasional whine/squeak when turning right when the car goes over a bump or is leaning down on the right. I've done loads of searches but none with a definite way of doing it. IS there a best place to drain from and how much fluid do I need for a change?

Power Steering fluid change

Yea
open the res.
pull out filter type thing.
look inside, you will find a nipple.
Put a correct size hose on nipple.
turn car on and watch the fluid pour out, as it's doing this refill with new fluid at the same time.
it's best to have someone turn the steering wheel lock to lock when doing this.
This will replace old with new and you can stop when the clear hose fluid is a nice clear red

I also did this, steering is a lot lighter now. I also made a small mess before I found the nipple location haha. Swapping was a matter of minutes though!
I used Kroon ATF Dexron II-D for this: http://www.kroon-oil.com/nl/catalogus/product/64/atf-dexron-ii-d/26/
