I have an automatic Vauxhall Corsa that is showing an F fault and the engine is not starting. Any ideas?

Is this an easytronic automatic?

If so, then to quote from the handbook -

"If a fault occurs in Easytronic , the control indicator lights up (that's the car / spanner light) . In the event of serious faults, an "F" also appears in the transmission display. It is possible to continue driving if only car / spanner lights up. Manual mode can then no longer be selected."

"If an "F" is also shown in the transmission display , it is not possible to continue driving. Have the cause of the fault remedied. We recommend that you consult a Vauxhall Authorised Repairer. The system?s integrated self-diagnostics allows faults to be quickly remedied."

In short what that basically means is that your car needs hooking up to a diagnostic fault code reader to establish what the problem is.

Thanks for that - the car won't start at all and I think i will probably have to call road service help to take it to a garage.

Thanks again
