on all new vauxhalls this is not a snapped drive belt it is a the alternater,
they can be repair for around £50
or replaced at vauxhall for arround £350

Just had the same thing happen. The alternator needs changing and as for the power steering that is electrically linked to the alternator. So once alternator is replaced the power steering should work.
