    As above. Swift passed the NCT a few days ago with no issue. Took it on the motorway for the first time since I got it today, and the minute I hit the motorway (after an hour on dual carriageways) the check engine light came on. Hasn't gone off since, even though it's been parked up for a few hours. Is it likely to be something big? I have the car less than a fortnight.

    Could be anything, perhaps emissions related if no other symptoms to point you in a particular direction, you would need the fault code read to point you in the general direction.

    I really need to learn more about cars. Is there an easy way to check this?

    You will deffo have to get it scanned to see what is causing the issue. Do you know anyone with a scan tool or do you have one yourself if not you will have to bring it to a garage to get scanned to read the error code. It could be anything even something small or really bad. All depends on code.
