because 2 reasons....
a) its not my car
b) its most likely to be ICV, EGR, or another valve/sensor which is just knackered with age... usually is on corsa's it's their 'weak point' shall we say
that clear things up

that'll be the "hand-over some money to vauxhall light"
comes on randomly and earns vauxhall good money for nothing, pretending an ICV is to blame
