Meshashmitteverytime i go into the parts shop i ask about power steering fluid & they always ask what grade i want, its not proper power steering fluid but ATF which i've heard can be used anyway. I haven't got a clue about the grading & when i tell them its a 5hitroen pump with Volvo rack even they haven't got a clue. Normally i'd buy any but because they've got to order it to get me enough anyway might as well get the better one
so what do i want? lol. Many thanks Duane
