Re: My car broke down
You don't have a dodgy immobiliser fitted do you? A previous owner fitted one to my Mk1 and it started immobilising the car as i was driving along and stalling it at traffic lights. It took 2 weeks to track that one down but simply disconnecting the immobiliser fixed everything.
It's a long shot I admit

Did you get any warning lights on the dashboard?
Could be something relateively simple
- eg Blown Fuel pump fuse, ECU Fuse, Main relay dead etc ?My Mk1 had a dodgy contact on the main ECU relay
- symptoms were that the car would completely cutout and refuse to start. Whilst it had played up one evening a friend was experimeneting wiggling sockets so and fro and found that moving the relay would bring the dash back to life and the engine would start.-

Re: My car broke down
this is going to sound like a ridiculous question but you did put petrol in didnt you? not diesel? just thought id say the obvious as i used to work for green flag on patrol and 9/10 cars i went to broken down in petrol stations had the wrong fuel in.
After that try bridging out B+ and Fp in the diagnostic port to check the fuel pumps working,stick a noid light or non flashing LED across an injector terminal and crank to make sure you get an injector signal.
