Mine did that for a while on account of a "miss-fire".
The mechanic just put a cleaning solution into the fuel tank and said to drive as normal. The warning light hasn't come on since.

When the engine management light is on the car runs in 'safe mode', or at least mine does. It'll run fine, but you might be lacking in power, for overtaking and the like.

Hmmm... it sounds like it needs a longer run. With just short distances the engine wont ever get up to a high enough pressure or temp. Long term, short runs only can make the car sluggish, or worse. My neighbours one+half yrs old car, engine siezed because it never did more than the school run, 5 mins round trips

My imagination ran out

anto909: when a light goes up on your dash it usually means u have to get it checked asap. never listen to what a mechanic says cos at end of the day their not driving it. sorry if i have put ur mind in dissarray but its from experience.
I can leave it in drive till thursday if needs be after 2day just to be safe
anto909: better been safe than sorry
