Morning guys and girls.
Right got in the car this morning to drive to work and the bloody thing wont start. When i turn the key there is a kinda wurring noise, but the engine doesn't turn over.
On Sat morning i started the car up and moved it on my drive to wash it, didn't use it at all yesterday then this morning it wont start.
The head unit came on, lights on the dashboard came on (Engine, Battery and oil i think) and i even tested the headlights which all work, but the car just wouldn't start.
I found this on here but know one had replied, it sums up my problem perfect
'just sounds like the starter motor is just spinning and not engaging the flywheel. It makes a whinning noise'
PLEASE HELP!!!

LEGEND! Cheers matey. I had a feeling that it might be the battery. Just a quick one, someone once told me when i had an old Mini, that the alternator only charges the battery when it reaches over 2.5k revs, is this correct with the Corsa?
Cheers again for the fast reply matey
