Hard to say with so little to go on  , may only have been a one of  " glitch"  . POSSIBLY  a battery fault if low and dependent on circumstances , especially if original

Thanks for your reply. I've not much to go on other than driving along and everything dies. No warning or particular circumstances. Has happened several times over last few months but intermittently. Luckily not been travelling at speed so far.
Had new battery on. Vauxhall garage suggested signal interruption from maybe aircraft - which seems a bit ridiculous to me

" Vauxhall garage suggested signal interruption from maybe aircraft - which seems a bit ridiculous to me " LOL  . Totally agree , pity all the thousands of VX and other drivers passing airports . Maybe alien spaceships , cant believe they said that . Did they even scan it to see if any stored fault codes present ? When replacing battery it would have been advisable to also check alternator charging rate when under load , simple 2 min check
