Car is a 99T Astra 1.7DI, belonging to a friend.
Symptoms are flickering battery light and intermittent loss of steering power assistance. When I heard about it, I immediately said "slipping drive belt," but apparently the problem is so bad that it had to be towed home! The recovery mechanic couldn't find the problem. It has since been towed to the local garage as I'm told it won't even start now! Can anyone suggest what the, seemingly more sinister, cause of the problem is?
