I know its not a corsa but my mums car has broken down, cuts out when its hot. (zafira a 1.8 16v) ive pin pointed the problem to the engine ecu not giving the fuel pump relay its earth when the engine warms up as the ecu is bolted to the side of the head.
I don't want to splash out £250 on a recon ecu as the car isnt worth anymore than that, is there anywhere i can get it repaired?
Anyone used any companys?

It's fractured solder joints on the ECU. As a temporary fix - just bridge the relay.
Guy here had same issue as you - if your competent enough you should be able to take it apart and spot the fractured joints.

It's sealant that you need to cut all the way around. And reseal when you are done
