Not sure what you mean by brake assist. BAS only comes on during emergency braking. I've triggered mine twice in 7 years. ABS will only come on if you lock up, which again shouldn't be a frequent occurance.

Yes if BAS or ABS had a fault, the light would be on

There are some issues with the steering and I will try and look them up later

if the steering is hard at standstill and ok when driving then make sure to check your power steering fluid reserve, it may be empty (sounds like it)

abs is working perfect.bas is problem .im sure previosly when heavy breaking .whenfoot was on peddal in steady position .as vehical started to slow down bas would kick in and with no extra pressure on the peddal wouldslow down the car even qwicker this is not happening now

Hi
Just out of interest, when you notice heavy steering, were the front wheels parked at an angle.
