Electrical problem
1999 Skoda Felicia Manual 75000 miles

A few months back I had a couple of instances where the car would lose power completely as I was driving along. Everything went dead, but the car restarted without any problems. That seemed to go away on its own and I have no idea what caused it.

Now suddenly I have a warning light for the airbag, the power goes on and off on the stereo at random intervals anywhere between 10 seconds and 5 minutes, and the windscreen wipers have speeded up.

No flags were raised at the service at the end of last year. Any ideas before I take it back to the garage (the battery was replaced about 2-3 years ago if that is of any use).
