Hi it sounds like the alternator is not charging the battery.
This is what I'd do:
1. Check the alternator connections
2. Get battery checked at a garage
3. Replace alternator
1.7 Corsa I guess that is a diesel? You can prob get a decent alternator from a scrap yard. They aren't very cheap to buy new.
Good luck

Best to phone various motor factors and compare prices , usually a lot cheaper than dealers .
