Also would i need to bleed the system as ive removed the hose to replace the "O" ring 

By moving the steering left to right it should bleed itself.

CHANGE the fluid !!

make sure the front wheels are off the ground when moving steering from left to right  with engine running to make circulating the new fluid easier.

Hi Joff, if you haven't got a big syringe to get the old fluid out of the reservoir, get a cheap Turkey Baster with a long nozzle and use that. You can get a couple of hundred ml out at a time, replace with fresh fluid and turn the wheel side to side a few times as Mr Don said, which circulates and mixes the fluid,( and pushes any air out ) then replace another portion.  Keep going till you've used up most of a litre bottle of fluid. When you say " groans under load",. If you mean  groans on or near full lock,. Like the car salesman says " they all do that, sir".

Well got as much of the old fluid out as possible with a turkey baster  topped up with new fluid and moved steering lock to lock for around ten mins and up to now no more squeal and no more notchy steering and no more groaning pump so hopefully jobs sorted ill try it in a few hours after its settled a bit

Now that sounds like a RESULT for perserverance!  

And Don's original diagnosis and advice.

  Hopefully OK in a few hours then in the morning.
