Corsa C is fly-by-wire... Corsa B is a mechanical (cable) so is bound to be harder... Check the routing of the cable and that there's no sharp bends in it which would cause friction. Can also use some lube on the cable...

follow the throttle cable from the pedal - into the engine bay
where it joins onto the engine, disconnect it
pedal should be easy to press now, and move freely :)
