Found out the problem, the key lost signal to the transponder. So when i went to start it again the ecu locked itself as it thought i was trying to steal the car. Got the key & ecu recoded. Works a treat now :)

The spanner symbol usually means that the vehicle needs to be serviced or there's a problem with the engine.

It does sound like you've not got the correct chip in the key.

Its a remote, swapped it over when i first jumped started it & drove it 10 mins home. Turned it off & it wouldn't start & light was flashing. Could the key have list signal with the transponder?

Depending on the key, if it's a remote just swap over the blade, and the barrel, and keep the main body of the key with the little chip inside. If it's a key you put in the door lock to open it, split it the plastic bit and swap over the chip into the new key, and fit the new barrel.

Just swapping the barrel and key over shouldn't case any problems, but you'll need the chip from the original key, inside the new key.

Ive put all original equipment back in. Fan problem has stopped, no fault codes but flashing spanner is back. The black chip thing is still in the key fob. Does it come out or open up?

Are you sure the chip hasn't been dislodged?

Hi guys. My girlfriends corsa had a snapped ignition barrel. The ignition was stuck on so ran battery flat. I replaced barrel & stuck her key insert with chip into new key.

I then had to jump start the car. Started first time & drove ten mins home. Since then every time i go to start the car its shows the flashing car/ spanner symbol on the dash. It turns over but won't start.

I don't see what could have changed since i drove it home? Any help would be great as she needs it for work & im scratching my head!
