ok i bought my "mates" corsa on tuesday, it sat for a wee while at his before i got it so he jumped started it to get it to mine then it cut out so i jumped it again and got it running then it cut out again yesterday, (hasnt moved from drive since ive had it btw) so i jumped it again today, not a peep from it so put petrol in it the day and jumped it, nothing again, when you turn the ignition nothin atall happens, i took pictures there the now off the lights that come on the dash, i think the electrics are F***ked ! ....

also this wire sits under the glovebox, its cut ?

the stereo wasnt connected, was wires everywhere, and spare wires and connectors in the glovebox,

please let me know whats up ! i think its dead tbh, and when i sat in it there, it was making some sort of noise, key wasnt even in the ignition ! sounded like something was trying to work, safe to say ill be getting my money back, help please, thanks

The wire that's hanging down looks like a sub wire or speaker wire and the management light and oil light will stay on till it fires up so not much to worrie about there a don't think, but try a new battery if yours is dead then don't think it will start
