Hi I have just bought a Barina GSi 96, it didn't come with a manual so my questions are.

The ABS Light and the Air Bag light Stay on Whats going on.

There is a little button next to the interior light what does it do.

What does the button next to the adjustable mirrors switch do.

Does the car have central locking, my key is just a copy.

And a technical question the car is leaking water I removed the hose I think it goes to the water pump is this a common problem.

Also it has 110,000 kms on it no service history what should I get the Mechanic to check.

Sorry about all the question,,,,,, Thanks

The car will need plugging in to a diagnostic machine to determine why the ABS light etc are on.

The button next to the mirrors is the heater for the mirrors.

The car has central locking.

If the car has no service history, get the cambelt changed as soon as possible and do an oil and filter change.

welcome to the site! ABS light could be a number of things so as Marc said take it to a Holden dealer and get them to read the fault codes. Air Bag Light is probably from the pre-tensioners being detonated, or the airbug is fubar'd. the little button next to the interior light is to disable the ultrasonics side of the alarm, ie, left a small baby/dog in the car with alarm still active.

110,000kms with no service history is going to need a major service ASAP. get all seals and gaskets checked, and as marc said, get that cambelt changed!!

Just got the timing belt changed the ABS light was the sensors on the Wheels needed cleaning.
They said the Clock spring need replacing on the ABS any Ideas.
Also the leak is the Heater hose, right under the engine need a NoN Geniune Part they wouldn't do it.
It is under the Thottle body is it Hard to remove to get to this Problem.
