Default service error just before engine cuts out

Hi

i've got a '06 Volvo S40 2.0 SE diesel.

i've gotten this error twice now in a matter of hours. first time first errors were(both together):

Anti skid service required
&
Power steering service required.

within a few secs the engine 'cuts out' and a red warning light appears stating that 'brake failure' (or words to that effect) 'please stop safely'. After a few secs of restarting the engine the car kicks into life and i can drive away again.

is this just a simple case of getting those features mentioned above services or something more?

many thanks for your help.
