Hi Chris,
I would at least start by looking at the fuses. Check the fuel pump fuse. Not entirely sure where they put it on the 1.2 (someone else might be able to help here) but check the fuse board at the end of the dash and if the car has a black plastic box next to the battery, could be in there. (like the 172)

If the car was running and stopped, I know it sounds silly, but is it out of fuel ?

Also worth checking is the crash switch, again not sure on your car, but on the 172 its just behind the battery on the top of the strut. Round red rubber thing, push the end down see if it re-sets. You could also confirm if its working/faulty by taking it off and shorting the terminals with a spare bit of wire.
I will have a quick look on autodata and see if I can locate the components I mentioned, sorry I am not more familiar with your model.

i had the same trouble on mine. try checking the key fob. has the chip moved or fallen out its hole. mine did the same, it would drive along fine and then just cut out. could be that.

yeh i had a look at that this morning poped the key open but the chip was in place

thanks
 
if theres fuel and spark then it should run.

its probably well flodded by now so floor the throttle whilst cranking, it will stumble a few times if theres spark, will take a while to fire it up though.

then make sure like h34ds the keys ok and its not immobilising whilst driving
