I have a Vauxhall Corsa B 1.0 12v. The car has been left standing for 3 months and will now not start. Originally I thought the battery had expired so I got a new one and this did not change matters. I then changed the starter motor for a new one, and the car is still not starting.
The starter motor turns the engine, but only by one or two rotations. While it is doing this, it makes a very loud squealing screeching sound (no it's not the fan belt making this sound).
Before the new (taken from a scrapped car) starter motor was installed it was checked to be working. I have run out of ideas of what could be wrong with it? Does anybody know?
Vauxhall Corsa will not start?
Try turning the engine by hand with a socket on the harmonic balancer and make sure the engine is not locking up. Remove your starter and try turning the flywheel with a large screw driver. But it does sound like the engine bearings are shot or have rolled over which is even worse.

was car running and starting ok when parked. if not then you need to check your flywheel. if it was you may have a grounding problem or entertain the ideal that may be some one sabotaged it.
the engine is frozen in it's bearings.
Junk.
