Try Marks suggestion but the common failure is due to the torque sensors on the steering shaft coming unbonded, the control unit cant make any sense of the resulting input signals then fails safe and turns the motor off.
This symptom gets progressively worse with time and you start to dread the warning light coming on - usually just as you pitch into a tight roundabout and find you cant turn the wheel anymore.
BBA Reman do an exchange unit for these, think you have to check the variant letter (sticker) on the unit before ordering if you want to get the new one before returning the old.
Not too bad to fit - minor abrasions and bleeding only required.
