I have just purchased a 2003, Corsa SRI. After cleaning the body work and interior today, I went to move the car and this faint alarm went off and when I tried to start it it just gave this rattling sound. The remote door locking would not work and when I went to lock with the key, the passenger door opened!!
After leaving it for a few hours I tried it again and the remote control seemed to work again..but when I put the key in same thing...faint alarm and rattling from the engine...any ideas anyone?

Well,, although I posted this last night when I was it the end of any logical thoughts! i spoke with vauxhall this morning..got some help. It seems there is an alarm on the battery that goes off when low!! seems strange... and basically the battery was flat but stil had enough charge to do some weird things..so the moral of teh story is...if your corsa will not lock, when you use the central locking the passenger door lock opens, and when you do get in and try and start it you get a rattling rather than an engine turnover...it is the battery....jump started it this morning all ok!!!! Strangest thing I have ever seen.....
