Hi! Took my 1.8 16v GLX out this morning, and not far from home (Lucikly) there was a blip in the engine and the engine died. After getting to the side of the road I tried to restart the engine and it turns over but won't restart. I have done an ECU reset and still no joy. I have no idea where toi start trying to diag this, any help welcome?

You hit any pot holes when the engine cut out?

Could be the fuel cut out switch under the bonnet that needs reseting.
