Keys of my Corsa are lost, Searched everywere
Heard that the cheapest way of replacing them is to change the ignition etc
What all do I need to get it running as the last key was chipped?

Take it the cars not locked?
The Corsa steering lock is indestructible, took me and 3 other people hours and hours to brake it.
Once that's broke you need to remove the ignition barrel. Then swap it for a new setup with keys and also from the same car you need the ecu. Under the barrel there will be a little black box you also need that.
Then all you need to do is change the locks from that other Corsa too. If you have a scrappy near you, then your sorted.
Hope this helps

Lock is indestructable? pmsl, scaffy bar on the barrel and snap it clean off.
Go to scrap yard, get a punch and tap the bolt round on a full new housing.
Then full lock set, matching ecu, chip and transponder and you're away.
