My girlfriends corsa 1.2:

The orange engine managment light comes on and off at random times . Doesn't seem to stay on for ages, but will come on once or twice each journey? Any ideas guys?

Thanks

And mine is the opposite. If I stop and turn the engine off, when I start again (and the engine is still warm) the light comes on. Also comes on if a cruise about 4000rpm (just under 80mph) on motorway for a length of time.
Car still feels fine tho, just take the orange bulb out and forgoet about it

mine used to come on in the 1ltr and the car would drive evan slower than normal, like somthing was pulling it back, then i'd drop down a gear to pick up revs quicker, then it would go awayand the car wud be fine.

never did get to the bottoom of it, car got wrote off instead lol.
