 but the belt is ok, there is plently of fuild, no leaks, belt is not squealing so I do not believe it is slipping, but it definitely feels a little heavier than normal, any idea's?  She is a 3.0l v6 btw...

Don't believe so, but would need to double check

Remember that its also electrically assisted.

Check fuse 14 to see if its blown as it also covers the cigarette lighter.  Was a post recently that had the lighter jammed in by one of the kids in the rear and shorted it out...

By the look of Page 186 (http://homepage.ntlworld.com/andrew.reynolds983/Manuals/Omega2002Manual.pdf) I would say YES!  :y  :y  :y
