my engine light goes on and of what is the problem?

Could be a number of things as the light is brought on by lots of different sensors. You need to have it looked at by someone with diagnostic equipment.

I have the same problem. The engine is running on back up systems instead of main ECU programme. Knowing Vauxhall its just to get you to get it serviced. I have been having the problem with mine since last April when Vauxhall told me my head gasket had gone...it didn't fix the problem. My fault is slightly different where I have gone through 19 litres of oil without bad exhaust fumes or even a drop leaking and its not in the water. Beginning to wonder if mines the cat convertor but have also heard rumours that I have had sugar put in my petrol tank.

Can't afford to fix mine. Won't even start with jump leads now. The last time I used it the engine management light was only on for 3 miles and according to vauxhall it should be driveable. When I get it fixed I'm seriously considering selling it. Its R reg with only 53000 genuine miles... its cost me a fortune!!!
