I'd say that the alternator light was on for the last couple of days and she didn't realize... Happened to me before, but i saw the light and tried to get home... i only got 1/2 way back :p

So your car was running and battery wasn't being charged.

Replace the alternator and recharge your battery and I'd say you will be fine.

also check the battery connection

Hi

I you say it will be the fuseable link in the wiring loom that runs from the positive battery to the main engine loom.

Its the loom that is about 150mm long and a wiring plug with 4 wires going into it you will see the fuseable link its the odd looking wire that's broken.

Here is a picture of the plug and the 3 wires and 1 fuse link




Thanks

Second that. If it 100% died and absolutly no go, you have lost a vital eletrical connection from the battery to the loom. Check wiring straight off the battery and work into the loom.
