its my mums car shes only had it a couple months
she got RAC breakdown to come look at it and heres what he had to say:
engine turns over no dash lights apart from battery light. volt dropped earth. all ok. checked fuses in under bonnet fusebox. some fuses had water ingess on fuse blades. changed fuses. no difference. checked ecu and found water on multiplugs. removed ecu to check if water inside. possibly has water ingress in ecu. checked fuses in glove box all ok. suspecct possibly bsi unit or ecu has water ingress. requires further checks by auto electrician
called the local auto electrician and its £70 just for a call out fee and can't really afford it if I can get away with it, money is tight at the mo!
any tips on what I can do? thanks

If the car came with a warranty, and assuming this wasn't caused by driving through deep water, you could pursue a claim on that.
Otherwise you will need to get an auto electrician involved. Since this probably involves electronics and water damage, it is unlikely to be quick or cheap to fix.
