no it doesnt'
do you have fuel pressure, if theres no fuel pressure and no spark, ecu isnt reading crank signal

well just went out and tested it,
cranked the car over and pressed in the valve on the end of the fuel rail, a small amount of fuel trickled out but wasnt pressurised 
used jump leads on the battery to crank it over as battery seems to keep dying, and after cranking it a little bit the battery still died even with jump leads on?

no fuel pressure - check fuel pump relay
check feed to fuel pump

right had a duff battery yesterday got it changedd under warranty, so thats one problem fixed!
Fuel rail is pressurising, as fuel shoots out when pressing the valve on the end!
turning over but Just no spark....what could this be?
just had to top up the coolant bottle as it was low, could this suggest headgasket? anyway to test this? theres no mayo under oil cap or no substance in the cooler bottle!

Have you removed plugs and have a look to see if they are ok? Could be a lot of things...best to get someone you know with a corsa to pop round and swap things round until you find the fault

Check your battery or replace with a known good one then try, check coil pack is getting 12v supply.
