So was driving down high street, on way home.. chilling out. as you do listening to music. Had my little sister next 2 me, and the traffic lights turn red up above, so i put the clutch in, okays fine. Next thing oil light comes on, and ive lost all power the engine cuts out. Right hmm fuck. i was thinking, rolled it up the curb, hazard's on etc. lifted bonnet up, everything was fine 10 minutes later, tried to start it again, it just started, so limped home, up a hill just got up it. came to a other set of traffic lights, just my fucking luck, before the hill car cuts out.
Push it to side of road, with a students help.. they was some poles next to me, and a curb with a gap i fort i could get my car thru... So i start pushing it thru and dick head me seems to of hit the pole, with out thinking it thru. Pulled all paint n body work back. Greatt so i was even more pissed off nearly fainted from anger n shaking like mad. My mum and my mate had met me by this time. My mate was checking my sister, and my mum was trying to claim me down. After 10 minutes we gave the car a other shot, tried starting up.. just started up and had no power, then all sudden power, only a little bit, so limped it up hill as quick as i could, with out it cutting out. Mum and my mate running be hide me pushing car up the hill. Turn left as its flat, and i just floor it as much as i could to get home.
And of course the car died just right next to my house, so had to push it up a slight bloody hill again. Got home feel such a twat, angry everything. 
Don't know if any of that makes sense like. Am still shaken and shock up from the most stupidest thing ive done. Oh well live and learn.
Pictures tomorrow.

dont worry mate, I've had to push my corsa home MANY MANY times. Sometimes a few miles because I had valuables in the car that I didn't feel comfortable leaving in dodgy areas.

Its always the way mate, my car was like that, this time last year. think it needed a new battery in the end, i would of got like 1/4 of a mile and all the interior lights would flash frantically, and then cut out. Managed to get my grandpa to come out charged the battery up from his car and managed to get home was about 1/2 a mile. Was cold and dark didn't really help either.

we all do daft things when were wound up for example me and my ex had a row and as i pulled up into a parking space my foot got jammed inbetween the clutch & break so i yanked it out to then gear a nasty crunch as i realized the car was still running and in gear then because i lost my temper i got out the car over enthusiasticly and snapped the key off in the ignition barrel... needles to say i wasn't happy

Its not battery at all, lights work fine radio the lot, i reckon its oil as they isn't no pressure so get any speed.

I think its rocket cover, as oil is coming out of it now. So new 1 of them is needed, and hopefully it will live again.

Wont be an oil leak making it run like that mate, i'd say its the airflow meter, changed shit loads of them on the 1.0's for lack of power and generally fucking around.

I know the battery is fine, it wants to start the engine, but the engine wont spark up. Well it can sometimes but sounds horrid.
