Question
my girlfriend got into the car today (corsa 1.2 trip 1996) and it would not start, after trying a few times an alarm went off (we didn't know it had one)
i believe it could be the immobilizer so i need to know how to fix this problem as the car will not move anywhere but the lights,radio all still work.

Answer
Ok, It appears you've reset the VATS.
The car does not recognise the chip in the ignition
key anylonger. You can try to put the key
in the ignition, turn to the on position & wait at
least 10 mins like that.

In some cases, the VATS (GM'S VEHICLE ANTI THEFT SYSTEM)
will re learn the code this way, and will then
allow the restart. But if this does not work,
then you can simply tow it to any GM vehicle dealer
to have the service department re code it.

Good luck I hope method 1 does the trick!
