	i've heard its very common for new corsa's to have bad earths, My sisters old one had a similar problem once and it was cos an earth was loose

	Mine did the same thing last week mate. Was sat in McDonalds carpark and then tried to start the car and it didn't :( Had to get my sisiter to come a meet me with jump leads. I put a new battery in it last week as there was supposidly a fault in my battery when I took it to my dads mate a the Merc garage down the road from me. Works ok at the moment but we'll see in a few weeks!

	Im not running ICE so cant be that!!! Poped into vauxhall about 1hr a go and have booked it in for Thursday for them to look at - they said it could either be battery or electircs ??? I thought batteries lasted years?? Anyways - when i went to vauxhall the car started first time and when i came back it started first time - so least i should be able to get home :lol:

	if it needs a new battery then there will be something wrong, a new batt should last at least 4 years!

	ye but if he's runnin ice then that drains the battery a fair bit
