Sorry if this post mkaes no sence but here goes....
My fiat punto 1.2 elx (believe its a MK2) has been working fine the last few months but yesterday it had an issue.
I parked up, the car still running and I went to reverse out but my steering felt so heavy ! (Believe my power steering went) it wasnt loud just really stiff to steer and a funny smell for a whille. Everytime I stopped the car( car still running ) the power steering would die and I would have to restart the car.
I re started the car and it came back but not how it should be still a bit stiff, further down the road a light appeared on the dashboard, its like an upsidedown bulb and its bright amber, its started going on then off but now its stuck on. I had no further symptons tho as my power steering was still being strange.
So then 10 mins later of driving the battery warning light appears on my dadhboard also, which was going of and on for 10 mins the just disapeared.
I'm going to put it in for service but I want some advice on this because I need to drive to work !!!
Thanks,
Any feedback would be great
