My daughter just bought a 1.2 Corsa P reg and the engine light is on. Which bit wants looking at?

The engine?

Think you'll need to hook it up to a diagnostic computer to tell you which bit the computer isn't happy about (9 times out of 10 a sensor will be broken)

does it mean a service is due?

get it down a vauxhall garage and ask a nice tech bod to put his tech2 on it for a beer token.

Put a jag engine in it

Do a google search for the trick with shorting two pins on the ODB plug, it will flash a sequence on the dash lights from which you can look up on google what it means, i did this with my old vectra (N plate), saved me £60 that bloody vauxhall wanted for sticking in their computer, turned out to be the cam position sensor was duff.

It can't be anything serious, it's running really sweet and the light's gone out again now so it looks like an intermittent problem.

I'm surpised nobody has suggested swapping it for a bike engine yet!

...put a bike engine in!!!

Usual intermitent code on them is EGR valve sticking. Fuel treatment might clean it up. So common that the GM parts guys know the part number off the top of thier head and know what you want before you finish telling them.

SPOOKY

My 02 corsa went in today to have the diagnostics test because it sometimes had a missfire and the engine management light came on!

Cost me £80
