   Right just driving back from KFC and as i turned into my road the steering failed asthough the power steering pump had turned off and the engine cut off. Oviously this aint the best thing to happen when travelling at bout 30mph into a bend, however me being the legend of a driver i am i recovered it, stopped the car and turned it back on and everything was fine, dont know what happend but dont want it happening again.
   
   and ideas?
   
   and before anyone says. NO i didnt stall it lol

   hmm this is what i thought but it wasnt just the teering, everything went, brakes electrics, everything as though someone disconnected the battery and alternator

   wonder if a dodgy coil pack would affect all that.im thinking if the power to your alternator was fucked/interrupted,then......It's gotta be something so simple too
