Our S2 1999 Punto with 240k Klms. Background: Has been super reliable, no hints of problems. I sold it yesterday and the guy who bought it had a 40 miles drive home in the dark. He called to say it had stopped at about 20 miles.
We went out (as you do): turn ign key and dash lights flash on and then go out all except the seat belt warning light. Engine obviously doesn't turn over, no clicks etc. Hazards work, radio works, nothing else. I towed him off the road but didn't risk taking him elsewhere without lights.
Has anyone got any thoughts about what this sudden demise might be. I'm no expert at all but I'm thinking ECU...
TIA
