Hi guys..
the power steering is making a screetching noise,but seems to ease when giving the the engine more revs!!!,could this be the belt slipping??,if so how do i tighten it....also would it help if i change the fluid??

Most likely a slipping belt. if you follow the guide in the Wiki for replcaing a M20 timing belt it explains how to adjust the V belts.
