total electrical failure but engine turns over

Post by yoyorem »

hi all
i have a 52 plate 206 I bought the car with only 48000 miles on clock 3 years ago but notched up to 78 000 now.
The car has been goodup uuntil Monday morning when I was driving along a road and myxcar suddenly died ; all electrics totally failed :no dashboard lights or any electrics would work I tried to restart engine but just turned over .
Recovery came out but could not start car and said it's electrical fault behind dashboard. I have taken it to a garage I don't even know as my last garage ripped me off. They will loik at it today but did warn me they are celebrating muslim Ramadan so garage will close for 2 weeks next Monday so if major fault would have to wait!! was advised by recovery to take it to a peouget specialist but they would charge so much just to even diagnose problem .Can anybody help with diagnosis and if i should take it to peouget specialist ? I'm in Birmingham area
Thanks in advance
