Handing in my man badge.
Power steering is making a bit of noise so think a fluid change/top up may be required.
I cant get into the fking thing.

Has anyone got any suggestions?
The yellow cap looks like its got very tight to the unit.

Screwdrivers, towels, hot engine, cold engine - all tried.

Cheers - the actual reservoir wasnt fully seated correctly in the holder. As such it moved a bit when you applied force.
Re-seated it & that made it viable with a lot of strength/swearing.

Topped up the fluid & power steering now not making any noise. Result.
