The alternator, huh? How did you figure out it was that? Did yours throw the same kind of error codes and lights? Was it a pain to replace?

Yeah, same lights, same codes. Eventually, the car wouldn't start at all. Best bet is to get it checked at a workshop. Probably the alternator's gone bad.

Took it to the shop. You were spot on, the generator was kaput. Cost me 960€ for the alternator replacement. Ouch! Thanks for the heads-up!

Sounds familiar. I've got a Corsa too. Had similar symptoms a while back. Check your alternator. Is it charging properly?
