vt calais, problems with the power steering. Why would it go from light to very very heavy after bout 20 minutes of cruising. I replaced and flushed my power steering fluid, but it still is happening. Also a number of warning lights are coming up on the dash, for no reason. i.e airbag, abs, traction, etc.

sounds like the abs module is stuffed heaps of posts about it if you pull the fuse for the abs and all the other warning lights go off thats your problem

U may have a loose connection somewhere or a bad earth. . .
Unplug the ABS module and blow out the conectors. Might help.

Also so when u changed your power steering fluid, did u bleed the system?
By going full lock to full lock, until the fluid level in the tank stayed level and no bubbles? U might have air in the system. . . .
