Hit abit of a puddle last night, little miss then was fine, started up and drove fine this morning, I went to mcds to get brekkie, had to wait so shut it off, and now she's dead, WAS turning over (seemed to be hydrolocking) but not brilliant, and then lost ALL power, even the horn..
I think timings jumped, but shouldn't of drove fine so I'm stumped, had 2 get my dad to take me to work - so gonna be dark by the time I get home so got no chance to look..

I'd say you have battery/battery charging issues if it was running then lost all electricity.
Try jump starting it

What you need is a 2.1TD sedan to replace your dead car with
And it just so happens that im selling one at a very reasonable price.
