What is the reason for the dashboard's engine symbol light to light up throughout the drive? The car is Kia Spectra 2001 model. Apart from that the car is in good condition and can see water drops in the silencer. Is there any reliable place i can take the car for inspection? Because so far i couldn't find a good mechanic or a garage near Colombo. I am new to this site and please bear with me... Thanks in advance....
