    alternator is kaput. when alternator goes the car will continue until battery is also drained then everything will stop. you will need to tow it or use a full battery until you can get another alternator. Try Ebay or scrap yard for a Corsa should be easy to fing./

    Check that the alternator is charging the battery properly.

    If the electrics cut out while driving, it may be because the car has been draining the battery rather than keeping it charged.

    Take it to a garage and check for trouble codes. It could be losing spark or fuel pressure.

    Get it scanned for error codes and go from there.

    Corsa can sometimes get P0335 crank position sensor issues.

    check the battery connections are good. After that tow it to a workshop with proper diagnostic gear.

    You have computer problems, take it to a garage for checking but expect to dig deeply.
