I to have an 04 1.7 dti astra van (145,000 miles of trouble free driving until now) and had the same problem which happen in Sept 09 and at first thought it was battery issue so bought a new one which didn't work so had a mechanic look at it, my alternator was at fault so had it refurbished and everything worked fine until today when my steering went and the battery light is back on. Van is now booked in to have the alternator checked again,have also been told that the steering pumps on these can be problematic.will update post when I find out whats wrong.
