Help! Corsa 1999 1.0 12v, died mid journey, now won't start

[JW-GLS]

Hi i'm new to this forum (1st post) and have the above problem

Drove my 1999 1.0 12v S reg 5door corsa gls back from shopping today, nothing out of the ordinary happened, the car started fine without any weird noises, stuttering or smells and drove perfectly normal as usual. All was fine until I got to my street near my house until it felt like i had knocked it out of gear but it was still in gear , the power steering went heavy and i had no power when applying the accelerator. I tried changing gear (3rd to 2nd) but made no differnce. I pulled up coasting in nuetral onto the curb and stupidly turned the ignition off. It now doesn't start but ticks over but won't get going. All the electonics work as my electric windows and stereo etc work and i had no warning lights apparrent on the dashboard during the journey. It has had a new (cam?)chain fitted so it shouldnt be that.

I'm not mechanically minded as my dad is pretty good at fixing stuff up (probabaly why i haven't learnt how to fix stuff!) but he's away for a while atm and need some urgent help! Any tips/ info on what to look for and how would be greatly appreciated! I have a haines manually aswell which will probably come in handy!

Thanks
Josh
