Vauxhall Corsa Will Not Start After Short Journey....

[UnluckyinCars]

I have a P reg Vauxhall Corsa automatic. Only problem with is that after starting fine first time if I stop after a short journey (normally to get petrol) it will not start, it doesn't even turn over. No warning lights are on. The lights on the dashboard come on as I turn the key in the ignition but nothing happens.

I have had no luck with cars recently and the last thing I need at the moment is the cost of putting it in a garage. If anyone has had this or something like it I would appreciate any advice.

Thanks

You might get a better response if you post in 'motoring' instead of 'advertising'

Start by cleaning the battery terminals, then refit after a smear of Vaseline.
