I have the car listed above 16v cde.
As stated above the car just cut off and never started again.
It swings and the engine turns but it does not start.
While it was driving though it used to stall but used to come alive after 4,000 rpm's.
If anyone could help me.

Welcome to 2CarPros.

First, I have to say we don't have this vehicle in the US, but I will try my best to help you.

When the starter is engaged, does it sound normal or does it seem to spin faster or chug?

Also, have you checked to make sure you have spark and fuel to the engine?

Here are a couple links that show how to check fuel pressure (in general) and how to check for spark:

Check those two things and let me know what you find. Also, let me know if it still sounds the same when the starter engages.

Take care,
Joe
