Yep its got to be on the trans bellhousing somewher so it can engage with the flywheel and have the positive battery cable attached to it

Do you have ignition lights?And when you turn the key to start-nothing? Yes check the starter motor, follow the Positive battery lead, it goes to the starter motor, there is a small wire also that attatches to the smaller cylinder (solenoid) on the starter motor, check this is attatched,if it is, then to test it is working, leave ignition on-OUT OF GEAR!-then with a long piece of cable connect one end to the pos battery terminal and the other end touch on the small terminal on the solenoid. the starter should turn, if it only clicks or nothing, then you need a starter motor. In my opinion!

first things first check the fuses....
as you open the bonnet(hood),you get a top view of the engine,look behind the radiator and you should notice a disk with a black belt wrapped around it,,follow the belt down into the engine and find the starter..I just got my corsa and i had to tighten the belt..Kinda hard
