So haven't done anything about it and everything is ok. my car does exactely the same and is usually on long runs, been and tech 2 at vauxhall and they couldnt find a fault and yes it cost me £40 for the privledge thats why i learnt how to use the paperclip method :)

	do you by any chance drive with your foot resting on the clutch? If so this will cause the light to come on because the switch recognises that you are touching the clutch at the same time as accelerating and it cannot work out why. It lights up to tell you that it has a problem comprehending what is going on. If you turn off the ignition and keep your foot off the clutch it should stop. It happens to me everytime i drive my husband's car cos i rest my foot on the clutch. Hope this helps. Karen

	i have had a couple of occasions with my dash light coming on. its usually when i go to start the car. the light flashes and the engine dies, then it takes a bit of time to start, not long, usually 5 seconds ish. after that its ok. last time it did it was sunday morning in a packed petrol station!! such fun! then i drove to london and twatted a kerb, chewed up my alloy and ripped a hole out of a fairly good tyre! ho hum!!

	how do you read it with a paper clip
WaNtEd_CoRsA	posted on 15th Jul 03 at 10:29
	sometime the light comes on and goes off this is normal - read manual if the light doesnt stay on for 30 secs it does not leave a error message on the ecu if it stays on longer to have a fault you can read these faults wi a paper clip or buy a fault reader from halfords for bout 20 quid if that

Without this there is no telling whats wrong :(

	Thats you engine management light it can be a range of things so I would go to vaux and get them to have a quick look if the cars still under warrenty it won't cost you a penny
