power steering reservoir (noob)

So where is it located on a 16v ecotech [img]/smile.gif[/img]

Think it may be low out of fluid!

Also anyone seen that Haynes manual I bought and flicked through once and not seen it in over a year?

big black bottle attached onto your n/s strut, sits above your gearbox

Sooooo should it be very difficult to get the dam thing to bloody open? Or does it seize up often. Im turning very hard and it aint budging, dont want to damage it by doing it too hard!

try tapping the top of it gently a few times , also try turning with your other hand, the one on my lorry wont open unless i use my left hand, havent got a clue why, must be the angle the force is on?
my old cav wouldnt open, even after tapping the top a bit, eventualy i tapped the top around with a small hammer and a pc of wood only took one tap and it would then undo ( if you tap it the right way! )

The caps aren't very easy to grip as they are very star-shaped lol.

Try getting an old rag to grip it with and twisting like f**k. Shouldn't be too hard if you're under 40.
