Sounds like an electrical fault if it just cut out and won't start again.

Battery maybe
although that wouldn't explain why it cut out. Could be the Alternator or Alternator Belt has gone so the battery has drained completly dead.
Have you tried Jump starting it?

Bottom end rebuild if the top is ok may be your cheapest option, if your temped to go down the 2.5 route a word of warning!!!! its gets expensive!

Sorry to hear this. Have a chat with David @ API, He'll run through your options.
I'd go for the 2.5 if it was my car
