I have a 1997 Opel Corsa. Last Oct 2007, the car broke down. Turns out the engine was f**ked. Got a replacement engine a few weeks ago, passed it NCT then 2 days later the exhaust broke. Got that repaired. So was bringing the car down from donegal to Dublin. 3 hours into the journey, I stop at traffic lights. The engine light comes on. I drive to my destination, turn it off, back on again and the light goes. Next day drive to the shop. No light comes on at first, but when I stop in traffic, the light comes on again. I replaced my oil but it still happens. Any ideas? It's only when I stop in traffic. and it comes on.

Is it dangerous for me to further drive or what?

Hi Caroline, the only way to find out the problem is to get the car connected to a diagnostic reader most independant garages have them now and charge half the price of a main stealer, I would do this as soon as you can so as to reduce the possibility of engine damage
