Hi,
Ermm - I use a wee 1.2 corsa to get me into work in the mornings, this morning the transmission light came on and off the entire 30mile journey, it was also 'jerking' when maintaining smooth throttle/revs and when sat stationary at lights it idled at 1500rpm on its own...
any ideas what it may be before it breaks down on me on route home!?

99.9% sure that would the idle control stepper motor - little black box located on the throttle body...
About £60 to replace IIRC, not a big job...

i had the same problem and replaced the stepper and it still done it, turns out my inlet was just bunged up and needed a good clean.
