Default AU XR8 - winding sound from engine and loses power, ideas?

As the title says, my XR8 in the last few days has developed a weird squeak sound at times, and when it happens the motor runs REALLY rough, and it has almost not power and at times will grind to a halt, and then stalls.
I can restart and drive off and its fine. But it is getting more frequent, I tried to capture some on my phone tonight, as it was quite bad.

In this clip I am on the hwy and its struggling to stay at 80kph

In this one it comes on worse and its quite shakey and struggles to stay at speed, I put foot down about 75% and it struggles a bit, then lets go and takes off.

ANy ideas at all?
When the squeak happens, not of the accessories lock up, like I initially thoughts, coming more from the coils?
