I had problems with my sports mode. The shining yellow "S" on the dash. I found that my corsa was stuck in this mode, and doesn't perform well when used in drive. I took it to the garage, where they disbaled the function. He told me to stop using the function (by the button on the gear stick), unless i was driving hard on motorways etc.Since it has been disabled, i have had no problems with using drive or manual gears. I have also had to car no turn over for me before. I found by switching the gear from Park to Neutral, and back again. Once i did this, the car started up like normal. I suspect by this time though, you'd have fixed it or given up!
