a few weeks back, i went to start my corsa, turned the key and nothing happened.

i could not get it to engage the starter at all through the key, so i had to wire the starter to a switch inside the car (push button start, home made, lol)

what d ya think this could be?
anyone experienced this before?

Probably ignition switch because there is no fuse. Contact is probably fnarged inside.

you just replace the contact part of the ignition on the end.
