Hi, wrong time for this, well last week I had my car in bodyshop not even sure if this guy did half he said he did or not, however he does claim to of gone threw my fuses to find faulty one, just thought Id add this as might help. Nothing else has been change.
So as above, the heater doesn't work again, it did this last week and after a fiddle on temp, direction of air flow etc put it back to normal speed and it worked. But not its totally dead, only works on level, speed, 4.
any ideas thankx?

Heater resistor has failed, if you tell us which model someone will tell you how to get to it and what to buy.

Have a look at this -
http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw=corsa+d+heater+resistor
You will see the resistor which is the green bit, that is the most likely point of failure but you can also buy the wires and the motor as the wires will sometimes burn out and need replacing and the motor can sometimes be the cause of the problem as when that starts to fail it will draw more current which is what causes the resistor to get hot.
Does need a bit of a strip down to diagnose but it won't be difficult to get the parts once you know what it wants.

Inspection light is something else, condition of your heater wiring is not monitored.
Sub wiring - who knows. It needs someone under there looking at it, not guesswork on the internet. I'm just telling you cars catch fire with the heater wiring is dicky.
