Can't help I'm afraid, but welcome to the forum. Sorry you had to join because of an issue, though, no doubt someone will be along to offer help soon.

You need to contact Autowatch direct to confirm if the Ghost2 is working correctly. I suspect it isn't the problem as it will either simply prevent you starting or driving at all, or if it's been put in valet/service mode then just allow you to drive in a restricted manner for 15 minutes then shut down (ie valet parking, service drive into workshop).

I’m guessing that if yours is one of the early electric power steering ones it may be more likely to have an electrical glitch than the original hydraulic ps versions.
Sounds like the best way forward is to have it checked visually for damage and then plug it in to see what fault codes are being thrown.
