Over the past couple of days I've been getting a high pitched whine when I turn sharp right at low speeds. It doesn't make any noise when turning left. The noise is identical to the one in this youtube clip:-
TIA

The power steering fluid resevoir is to the left when you stand in front and open the bonet :) ..I'm sure its on this model and accessible without removing any covers. Perhaps I could be wrong.
Possible problems and bear in mind I'm not an expert rack, pump (bearings in the pump can go I believe), cv joint, bearing ?, worn belt or pulley on the pump, but also worth getting the suspension components checked to make sure nothing is rubbing like the tyre on anything, seen that happen before, a simple job like getting the tracking doe sorted it. But this is just a few things to think about.
My advice would be to get it diagnosed at a garage and then depending how handy you are fix it yourself or let them do the hard work :)

Not on the post 05 models. I know where it is and its definitely not accessible from under the bonnet. Like I said, its supposed to be a non-maintenance item.
Fair enough I stand correct :)
