    Make sure that the center part of the rotor arm is touching the centre terminal in the distributor or you could try putting back on the old one and see if it works...

    According to this website (http://www.economy-point.org/opel-corsa/p1.htm) the firing order is 1-3-4-2, so if you know which way the distributor turns you should be able to verify that the leads are in the correct sequence...

    Yep that makes sense, the order was correct but were out of phase by one cylinder...

    Is she running ok now?
