slightly off 306 topic, but hopefully someone can point me in the right direction..

It seems (and i can only go on my girlfriends description) that there is an electrical, or perhaps alternator(?) problem. She was driving the other day, when the power steering went heavy, lights dimmed, dash went dull etc, indicating general lack in power, but the there was no change to the engines power?

she arrived at her destination, and later car started ok. im not sure if it continued with the above systems but it didnt have any problems firing.

any thoughts??
