i have a galaxy 2.8 ghia auto management light has come on and the driving has been a little bit shaky and slower gear change light went off after going over a bump and driving was perfect got in it this morning engine light came on after 5 mins and once again the car was shaky and had a slower gear change.

hi everyone i brought a 2001 ford galaxy ghia 2.8 auto from a auction earlier today it has not missed a service from its main dealer and it has valid mot & tax. the car currently has 101,000 miles and comes with many extras. but now to the problem the engine mangement light is on but the car seems to start ok and seems to drive ok but i have been driving a old car for a year so maybe there are just things i aint noticing as this is my first galaxy. There also seems to be alot of smoke coming out of the exhaust when engine is left running but i was thinking maybe this is because it has a 2.8 litre engine. i hate mechanics and garages and i want to know if you guys know of any steps or suggestions of things i can try out & have a look at so i can get a bit closer to what my problem is.
