 :welcome: to Mazdarotaryclub.

Could you describe exactly what has happend so we can try and advise you better.

Was the car running OK and you came out next morning and it was turning over on the key with plenty of battery and it will not start, or did it stop while driving and would  not start or something else ?? 
All the best Clive

It was starting when cold but not hot then was driving and it cut out on a round about, my friend picked it up and was driving but when I got it back there was no power, nothing at all, thanks for the help x

Lucy, so so sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but because it was not starting hot, this tells me the car had low engine compression and this has now become even worse indicating an engine rebuild is required  :( :( 
All the best Clive
