right as the story goes i am a bit miffed why my corsa was smelling very badly of petrol and puffing out white smoke. Also i noticed at the time the handbrake light was not going out when dropped jst dimming. so far we have replaced
*loom
*ECU
*ICV
*Air flow meter
*Throttle body and throttle position sensor
*hall sensor
and loads more than i cant list 
headgasket has been rulled out this time. Today I picked my car up and it ran fine. soon as i parked up the car wouldnt even start. it wouldnt even turn over this time. Once thing i noticed as i did before was that the handbrake light wasnt going out when dropped just dimming.
Now i am thinking it could possibly be an earthing/wirring problem. Does anyone know where the earthing points on the shell are?

did the car run fine when you parked? then when you came out to start it it wont turn over?
try pushing it... i had a simular problem turned out the connector that connects to body loom to the engine had come appart.... its over near the dizzy on a c16 i'd imagine its in the same place on a c20 if it has one that is.....

Fad, what was your very first ever problem with the XE?
Just thinking that once you've sorted out all the current problems, you'll be back at the start and have to go through it all again
