Battery is fine as all lights are on / electrics are ok. The lights don't dim when I try and start it. How can I get to the starter motor? Best from underneath? Also, I had a similar problem to this on my Nova and it turned out to be the earth cable going from the gearbox to the chassis had snapped. Is there one in the same place on a Corsa? | |

As Tom said, could be the starter motor. | |

there has to be a problem with the starter motor or its connections, as that is what 'grinds' if you turn the key after the engine is started. So either the starter motor itself is broken, or the wiring to it somewhere is damaged or loose. It could be a bad earth, or a problem with the wiring from the battery or ignition I think. | |

Its not even trying to start though. As if the battery is disconnected. I'm thinking bad earth? Where are the earth straps on the engine? | |

No it doesn't flash. I can bump start it too so I don't think its a prob with the immobiliser. | |
