Question Which Power Steering Fluid

Planning on flushing the steering system, what is the best fluid to replace with?
Cheers.

Got Millers in the engine/gearbox & diff and would like to keep all the same, will this be suitable?

Yes mate, that'll do nicely.

In response to your other post, when I did mine, I removed the return and kept topping up, didn't take too long, and wasn't really that messy, I did use an assistant to turn the steering from side to side though

That's the the way I was thinking of, will order the fluid and job for the weekend.
Quick question; the rerun pipe, remove at the rack or pump? And does anyone have photo to identify or is that easy to identify?
Apologies if it sounds stupid but not looked at it properly at it yet.

Don't know if it is the correct way of doing it or not, but it worked for me, I removed at the pump end, found it a lot easier, and less messy as could put the end of the removed pipe into a bottle.
I used an empty lucozade bottle , big one, not a little one
