Vauxhall Corsa engine light flashing/wont start- is it an earthing problem?

Car: Vauxhall Corsa
Variant: 1.2
Model Year: 2003
Categories: Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
for the past few weeks my vauxhall corsa wont start. when you turn the key, the engine light constantly flashes and she wont start. we have been told by an indepedant guy that the car has an earthing problem, and to need to get a new box which will cost around 400 plus labour. he states its the earthing that is stopping the car from starting. i need some reassurance that this is the cause of the problem. any information would be appreciated!!

I would suggest getting a second opinion and getting it scanned to see what shows .

Sounds more like a transponder key problem to me have you got any other objects on the keyring that might be interfering with the key? Try seperating the key from the keyring or trying another key if you have one
