Sounds like the starter motor is knackered. Check all your wires and plugs on the starter motor, if they all seem fine try tapping it with a hammer and try again.

You sure all your earths are good? I had this problem with mine and it turned out to be the gearbox to body earth. I had to clean the contact points and re attach and it cranked straight away. Check all your earths, clean and tighten, if it still doesn't crank then I'd say you have a faulty starter motor then.

The one to the battery is a permanent live. The black wire pictured is the ignition live, needs to be joined onto the black on the Corsa loom. You done that?

If you've joined to the black wire with the plug in the picture it should work.

If it still doesn't work you've missed something.
