I had that - it seems it is a common problem with these cars. I changed a couple of things and then scrapped it.

Since then I have heard that it is often the crank position sensor. Supposedly it is cheap to change so that would be a good start.

Mine would drive normally and then it would just die and not restart for anything from 2 mins to a couple of hours - then it would run normally for a while.
