hi everyone, driving home the other night bout 30mph and for about a second or 2 the engine cut out and all lights went off before coming back to life again and getting me the rest of the way home. could smell abit of burning possibly plastic for the rest of my journey. Switched her off and she will not start again. dash lights etc all working. any ideas what this could be?? Thanks in advance :)
 
Could you have left the key in the cranking position? My key doesn't always automatically flick back and it has led to a burnt out starter.

If you have the starter motor could have burnt out but as you were moving it bumped itself and that's why it won't start now?

its usual for folks to introduce themselves before jumping in with questions.
Welcome to the forum anyway, it sounds like a problem with the fusable links, these are located on the off side innerwing in the wiring loom.
Strip the loom carefully with a stanley knife and check for corrosion on the joints
