Sounds like the alternator to me.
did it just cut out or did she stall it?

Cant stall its auto? Unless there was a way. BTW she didnt drive to halfords
. She managed to get home and find a place to park as there was no way it was getting up our street. She said she was going to halfords then i got another call "Come and help me out of the snow please".
All is good now hopefully, just hope it starts tomorrow

Has the alternator belt snapped/come off mate?

It wouldnt start again though and drive around for another 30minutes if it did?

Your battery recycles after a rest! so would have a little power in it still due to recovering!
Have you got a multi-meter? so you can check to see if its charging?

acrossw the terminals with the battery off.

What does the voltmeter on the dash say when you're driving ? What about at idle ?
Battery flat! - steviewevie - 10-11-2017
Marsdendean Its where it should be! Its just below the 12v and inbetween 9 i think.Are you sure ? Because it should be above 12v, not below ! Should be more like 14V when you're driving along.

Marsdendean If its below 12v, what will be the problem - battery?
The alternator probably.

when fired up should be about 14.4v
