Job done. Wasn't as difficult as I feared. No airline, so dribbled some new fluid through the reservoir and caught some of it as it came out of the pump high-pressure union with the pump removed, engine off and my glamourous assistant twirling the steering wheel. I removed a box of relays above the pump which improved access. Taking the pressure of the drive belt was fiddly. Worst mistake was letting the plastic pipe from my vacuum drainer slart fluid across the windscreen.
Steering is now quiet again with jerk-free assistance.
Thank you for your helpful comments,
