You need ATF (Dextron III) fluid. The Red stuff. 1l bottle should be enough in normal system (without PAS relocation or cooler).
cheers.

Geronimo, if we do have PAS relocation or a cooler, how would the fluid differ? Just more of the same stuff?

Info on Power steering fluid here ..

http://www.fordfiestast.co.uk/showflat.php?Number=211783

You need Castrol Transmax Dex III Multivehicle (the one in the Gold 1 Litre bottle, top of the page) .. Do not put the wrong fluid in your power steering system! .. can be rather an expensive mistake to make!

yeah, that's what I meant, more stuff, but not much I think. anyway I bought 3l to flush properly the green crap that bloody ford sold me saing that that's the one I need.
I bought Valvoline dexIII for about 7 quid per 1L so It was quite cheap.
I would get the Castrol ATF TQ DIII if the price wasn't 3 times bigger than for this Valv :-(.
cheers.
