Right.

The driver door (2door corsa) latch has failed on my, it seems to have just jammed in place, i've tried fiddling it around but to no success. Cause of this im now unable to close the door!

Im gona take the door card off tomoz and so on now but what should I be looking out for?

I remember mine flicked forward (inside the catch) whilst the door was open and then wouldnt shut untill the metal clasp had been set back into its original position. Never known one to fully go though. Scrap tomorrow then

You know how the boot, when it's locked the metal curves around and won't let the boot close, is it like that in any way? check the door side of the mechanism for anything blocking it like this.

Yeah it's on the door itself, it seems to be fully closed up. Shall open door up and take a ponder!

There should be something that flicks back and forward, make sure the slot is open and not obstructed by a catch. If there is something blocking the slot then that means its in closed position.
