| Squealing sounds like you need some new belts there. Stand at the LHS front door and open the bonnet/seat.
On the left is the power steering fluid, careful of the filter gauze hidden inside. Next to that is the fuel primer and filter.
If you're really clever you can change the steering fluid by diverting the return pipe (top) to a container and get someone to start the engine as you pour new fluid in to maintain the level, then after about 1 litre get them to switch the engine off. Then reconnect the pipe - hey presto, steering fluid flush.
A variation is to remove the filter/reservoir and reverse flush the filter with something first to make sure it's super clean. | |

| Oh and the A/C might be under the front bumper on the passenger side, at least I think the sight glass is there IIRC. | |

Good stuff and cheers. The last owner made it look good but didn't look after it very well so there's a number of mechanical aspects I'm having to bring up to scratch. It's slowly becoming a well cared for reliable van but it's been quite a bit of work! | |

| That's pretty much the plan with mine. Interior is perfect in back with some sun damage on the seats and steering wheel in front. got it with 80,000 KM and most everything working like a charm. Some minor things like the electric curtains, belts, but overall seems super solid and am looking forward to years of miles. | |
