If anyone is still interested, here is the solution.
The guys at the indy workshop assured me that the battery was OK, and that was correct.
I tried various combinations of disconnecting and reconnecting, in an attempt to ensure that the controller was properly reset.
In the end, I got the car to an authorized workshop.
They (eventually) found that the wire to (or from) the fuel pump was damaged. It seems the insulation was broken, and water had got in, causing the conductors to corrode. Presumably the freezing conditions had dealt the final blow.
An expensive bit of wire to replace, but I'm glad it didn't happen out in the middle of nowhere.
But why did it happen in the first place?
