The airbag light has to be reset by the dealer, here it is a $100. But, since it was on, I would have them take a look to make sure none of the bags has been tampered with. They are worth a small fortune. The leak is somewhat common, but if I am going to purchase a car, as is, I think I would have done a better job of doing my research, as this car may have been wrecked at some time or another and the repair wasn't all that good...good luck my friend, you bought it right, just need to do some research and repair...we are here to lend a hand...
I did all the research best as could, & had a former mechanic neighbour look over it who said apart from the issues mentioned its in good nick, I did all the hpi checks etc....all came back ok, checked best I could for smash damage creased pillars, gaps etc.....when I drove it before buying it didn't pull then, it developed it on the way home....think I may have a slow puncture.
Airbag light came on on way home also can't do much about that.
Anyone know of a good, reliable garage/mechanic that knows there way around these things in the midlands area?.
As stated once I get the things sorted I will have a decent amount of car for good money.
