Electrical problem??

Hi. Think I might have a problem with the electrics on my 2001 Punto Speedgear ELX - although not sure. Reversing out of the driveway the other night everything cut out and the red battery warning light appeared on the dash. Engine restarted first time 30 secs later only for same problem to happen immediately. Engine restarted again no problem and car ran fine. Next day, pulling into car park the engine cut on me but came on a split second later. On the drive back home various warning lights (ABS, OIL, PASSENGER DOOR) kept flickering on and off. No recurrence of engine cutting but a bit worried.............any ideas on what the problem(s) might be?????

Re: Electrical problem??
