Ok it has gone on my corsa sri 16v. Have done a search on this to check i am thinking it is the right part! Is it on the inlet manifold at the back of the engine. Can i get to it by removing the header tank or is it more complicated?

YES AND YES. Ditch it, get the blanking plate from Vauxhall (do a search in Help & Mod forum for the part number) leave the valve connected though and you will have fixed it without spending £100+ on a new valve that does nothing but balls your engine up.

if im right in thinking it lets all of the poisonous CO2 fumes out of the engine under low speeds or when the engine is just started up

On the Corsa it is, if you get a Mantzel everything becomes much easier.
