Opel Corsa, crank no start problem

I'm fairly ok when working on the car, at least have changed front discs by myself.
And have a Haynes manual as well, haha
 
Another thing is I started noticing a slight oil leakage after parked, so it could just be sticking?
 
Sorry to jump a year later LOL but I recently bought a corsa lite from someone and it Only starts When it’s hot outside . I even tried with a new battery and still doesn’t always start , I had the starter checked as well and that’s fine . Took the computer box out and when we put it back in it started A few times then stopped again . Not to mention the car idles on 3000 rpm . It does also over fuel because I get a really bad petrol smell at times . I’m seriously stressed out with this car.

Kahle Jan, what are you saying now?
 
Basically the car won’t start , we checked the starter and everything the car only starts towards the afternoon when the weather is hot outside

And what happens after it has started towards the afternoon? Can you drive with it?

What repairs have you done on the car, hopefully no one had fiddled with the computer box since that is usually the start of all trouble.

A Corsa is a fairly simple car and assuming that it's serviced properly the only things to ever give trouble is the coil pack, a dirty airflow sensor or a dirty idle control valve. Get a carburettor spray and give the two a good clean.
 
hi their, what problems did the bad relay cause? I've got the same problem I drove my car and then parked it and then when I wanted to start up again it goes on and then off their, the engine light is blinking the hole time also one thing I noticed is when I try to start my interior light dims, I changed the idle sensor and the crankshaft sensor but still nothing. I would truly appreciate any advice and also if you could maybe send a Pic as to where the relay is located please. thanks in advance

Sounds like an alternator problem.
