Turning at lights, downshifted 4th to 2nd gear and suddenly power sterring went, also oil light and battery light came on.
I managed to straighten up, engine was still running, revved the engine and the lights went out and power steering was back.
Could this be power steering linked? I had a problem last year of noise and it was ps belt slipped off but as car warmed the belt was getting back into place.

Fusion 1.6 petrol 03 plate manual
When maintaining constant speed 40 or 50 mph the car will feel like it's driving through lines of treacle, slowing then speeding up every few meters. Taking foot off accelerator and the surging stops so i assume it is not sticking brakes. I do not notice any difference in rpm or in engine sound
There is an audible "chh" when pressing accelerator quickly or changing gear which the garage noted last service when they had air filter out (I hear it all the time)
Also clutch release bearing squeels especially when pulling off and car kangaroos in reverse and i feel (rather than hear) a knocking when pulling off in 1st regularly
Finaly between 50 and 55mph the drive is very rough whether in gear or in neutral which i assume is wheel balancing or tracking?

These are maybe related or individual annoyances but can anyone shed any light on the above problems and what is needed to rectify them?

Sorry I read this many months ago somewhere, tried "search" but no joy

The outer door hard plastic moulding on rear door , the strip the goes down the window is loose at the top (common fault) i can see where glue is no longer holding it, what do people use to reglue it?

04 plate but only done 16k miles (I don't drive much)
Had trouble in past each year with dead battery usually wintertime but was sure I was on top of that this year
Got in this morning, radio works, heater works, display illuminates but turning ignition and nothing
There is not even any clicking or any noise at all (thats why i think it is not the battery)
The display does not dim when turning ignition and having foot pressed on brake (needed to start auto) the symble of a gear cog with exclamation mark comes on
Also when key turned position 1 the lcd gear display comes on to show display is working but then goes off and then nothing at all in the lcd but i never noticed if this happened when car was ok
I have messed around with gear stick, putting in reverse, neutral numerous times etc but nothing shows on display and no noise at all from engine

Any ideas?


FIXED
It was indeed the battery, never had one go like this before, everything else worked, central locking, wipers (although a little slowly) lights, radio, air con, etc etc, just nothing at all from starter motor
Battery was only giving out 9v
New battery, quick wiggle of the gear stick and worked like a charm
