My car has had a few problems lately. The oil seems to have gone a wierd brownish colour when i opened it. The exhaust has now recently started to rattle and yesterday the engine management light has come on. Can anyone help me with this because I don't have a clue what is happening haha. Any hep would be appreciated, thanks.

your oil should be a goldy/brown colour or dark brown or black the darker it is then the more its needs changing also if it drips of dipstick it needs changing also exhausts on corsa's do tend to rattle a lot hitting the rear beam. Hope this helps.

Its like a wierd browny colour like a chocolate milkshake but then a dark brown on the dipstick. What do you think the problem with my engine light could be. thanks for the help too

are you losing any power? and any smoke coming out the rear end and losing any water? if so its your head gasket mate, and take it to a garage to get the em light looked at
