There were a couple dodgy connections in the loom but I think mainly down to the wrong relay. So happy!

Just drove the corsa for the first time in 49 days!! :O think the gear linkage needs to be re aligned, the tracking needs doing as I fitted adjustable top mounts during the conversion, need to sort some electrical issues.. The horn, interior light, radio, hazards and front sidelights don't work :/ could anyone shed some light on this?
Pictures soon as it was half 9 before I finished working on it tonight haha

You checked your fuses mate? I didn't think any of that was on the XE loom was it? and I'm fairly sure radio and the interior light are on the same loom so double check the fuses

Yeah they were working when I was testing everything, then while the hazards were on it just stopped like the battery went dead but it still started and everything else worked :s

Silly question but you havent swapped the wires round for the hazard switch by accident or taken the switch out? Its a weird thing on some corsas that you can take the hazard switch out, turn it upside down, put it back in and then when you press it the cars ignition comes on. I'd think if that happened when the car was running and you pressed it then it would kill the engine.

Sorted now thanks lads, well te sidelights still don't work but think it may be just new bulbs. Fault was the fuse.. Durrr!! It was the top left one and i couldnt see it in the dark last night! All that's needed now is the tracking, went to quick fit this morning and they're too busy all day,
Oh and it seems the engine temp gauge isn't working :O dunno where to start with this one!
