Has the belt broken ? Is it the battery light, which could also be driven
by the belt. ?

Mine went on a MK2 Punto Sporting, costed ?400 to get replaced was a
number of years ago.

Also went the other day when turning the steering too far to the left
in a car park, seems to be a problem especially in cold weather. left
the car for an hour and went shopping and was fine.
The steering does get heavier as it over heats, I found this out when I
had 4 big and heavy passengers in the car, solution was to add more air
in the tyre (they were low), this puts less pressure on the steering
unit.
