I'm sure I read a thread that said DIII damaged the power steering system and that DII must be used, DIII is for the auo box and must be used in that.

If you want to flush the power steering I've a sort of 'how to' at http://www.infohitsystems.ltd.uk/Gallery/dirwrap_photo.sh?path=Car pics 28 to 30. You will need 2l of DII.

I found my rubber hoses at the expansion bottle were hard and I replaced the short one but cut half an inch off the long one since that was 60 quid.

Officially the autobox is DIII and the PAS is DII.

DIII exceeds DII, so in principal you should be able to use it for PAS, but I once saw a TIS bulletin saying that DIII was causing leaks when used in the PAS system - something to do with the fluid being incompatible with the rubber used for the seals I think - and that this is why only DII should be used for PAS. The implications are not that the PAS will disintegrate within 2 miles, but that you may develop a leak... so if you topped-up with DIII I suggest you keep an eye on the level. So now we know...
