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.

Re: Power steering fluid
Well worth asking but if he can actually see what is under the bonnet that is half the battle.
