Hello. Hope this is the right place. I just recently bought a 98 corsa 1l gls. There is a button on the drivers door next to the mirror adjusters and I really don't know what it does. It makes a clicking nosie some where in the dash and a light next to the button turns on. To turn off the light i have to turn off the power and put it back on again....any ideas what it may be? Thanks Karl,

Welcome Karl.

ESP light may not have a bulb in and may not be installed. You'll also see tow bar icon and perhaps some others that are present in all dashes and only have bulbs if the options are fitted.

Alloys, depends on what you buy. Anything from very little for tatty small things to hundreds for nice ones with the right tyres. Have a look around the owners gallery and feature cars for ideas and we'll price up whatever you like.

Ian I'm gonna take a guess that it is seems it lights up.

Alloys, really i was just looking for anything that would give me lower profile tyres and didnt cost more than £500.

That may indicate a fault - don't have a manual to hand but I would check that.

Are you sure the ESP isn't EPS?

What I'm thinking. The Corsa B had ABS or nothing iirc.

Post-97 Corsa B has Electronic Power Steering (EPS) which lights up on the rev counter
