I think you need to loosen the scuttle panel and tip it out. It's a bit fiddly. (Assuming its a corsa c 00-06) there's a few screws holding the panel on, cant remember if you need to take the wipers off.

There's probably a guide online.

Maybe the diesel has a bigger battery, just put some masking tape on where the wipers sit to mark them, take the wipers off and remove the scuttle.

yes it has a much bigger battery but they make it very difficult to remove the battery from these corsa's
