Hi can someone tell me how to change the power steering fluid as mines a bit milky brown colour not a nice red as most fluids are in steering fluid bottles or is mine the correct colour as this is the very first Citroen c5 a have ever owned so I am new to these cars as well as this forum.
So all help and explanations very welcome thanks.

Re: Power steering fluid
As yours is an 05 it will be Total LDS I suspect - the fluid is on a shared reservoir with the suspension fluid.
If you know Steve at Coastline Taxis then have a word with him, he has taught himself just about all that needs to be known about C5s.

Well worth asking but if he can actually see what is under the bonnet that is half the battle.
