TDV6 power steering filter
Found the filter in the bottom of the res today when draining the old fluid and wondered if you want the filter changed is it a case of bin the old res and buy a new one?

well yeah.
I just put some petrol in the container and got rid of most of the muck.
I may have followed it with fairy liquid.

Our oldish Mondeo had a near-blocked filter on the PAS reservoir.
New ones from Ford were quite a bit cheaper than secondhand ones on eBay so might be worth checking.
Around £15 for a new reservoir, with the added benefit that you could see the PAS fluid level once more.Black 05 TDV6 HSE Auto

cleaning the LR one, I was able to see the level again.
Filter can't really get blocked, as there is a hole in the corner
