Hi all, I just bought a 2nd Optra 1.8 LT in KL. Bought it for RM27K, the car is made in 2004. Last few days found out the problem of gearbox, when turning R from N, it get stuck. Although stepping the brake, it cannot be work. Then send to SC, then realized is the brake switch problem, after changed, it back to normal.

But now, i have other problem with the handbrake light on the meter, it won't be on while I had pull my handbrake.

Then where can I the car condition, because I had no idea whether the car had changed the timing belt or not. Even the car seller also had no idea on it. So, where can I check? Now the mileage is around 96k.

Please advice..
