You probably have the 35lb ones if they are really big... They dont need to be so big on a Corsa B, no sure about the C though

Here is mine:


The solenoid was fixed to a bracket and then that bracket was welded to the inner door. The it was attached to the outer door handle cable.

They are not holes
They are my indicators
I just got a set of LED indicators and then cut out the leds and siliconed them in. It passed an MOT with them so i was happy as they looked ugly without them.
The solenoids are really good
