How do I reset the engine management light?
It comes on occassionally if I cruise at over 85mph for a period of time. The dealers says it is just an occassional mis-fire. The light stays on for approx 5 days before reseting - can I manually switch it off ?

On some models if you start and stop the car 4 or 5 times the light goes off.
You can do a manual ecu reset but depends what year your car is, classics are easier.

TBH, I think you should post asking for alternative dealers in your area! It's a warning light meaning something is wrong and needs checking. I wouldn't let him fob you off with it's an occasional mis-fire. These cars have some quirks but this aint one of them!
