It started once and then i turned it off, when i tried to re-start it, it completely died on me. Could it be electrical and is there anything i can do before a mechanic.

Charge the battery and check there is power to the ignition coil - but it could also be a knackered solenoid. Sell the battery and buy a better car?

Try with a boost to see if the starter is good. If it starts with boost then your problem is the battery, most parts outlets will bench test it for you for free. Batteries generally have a life of 5 yrs average.

If you've replaced your battery within the last 3 years or so, then you could try disconnecting the battery cables and cleaning the connections with a wire brush. Reconnect and thighten them.
