I had the handbrake light problem too. found out it was due to the fact my front brakes were down to bare metal. so this'll most probably b the case if ur fluid levels are fine.
Cluth pedal probably just needs a quick spray of WD40 on the hinge/spring

I had the handbrake light problem (and fluid level seemed fine) - ive heard that it can be brake pads gettin low - Be aware tho cos about a week after it started happening the light stayed on solidly then b4 i had chance to check it out the brakes stopped working all together and i lost all compression in the brake pedal (due to a leaking slave cylinder) - If you cnt find the problem i would take it to a garage and get it checked out

rite i got a list of probs with me corsa,some of wich have been there since i brought it and some started about 2 monts ago...right here goes:

clutch pedal squeeks when i push it in

handbrake light comes on when going round corners(fluid level fine)

a kind of sparking noise comming from the boot/back of car

a whirring/warping noise comming from back,possabley rear wheels.

somtimes after filling up with petrol i turn the key and it starts then dies straight away

revs started dropping when idle and it almost stalls

gear changes are very clunky(gear box oil?)

the noise of the engine seems to be louder than my exhaust.tapping and wirring noises.

the car is a 1.2 8v and has done 107k miles.
