I had a 2006 Ford Focus and the only time the engine light came on was due to a faulty O2 sensor. I suspect (could be wrong though) that you'd need to take it to a ford dealer to plug it into their diagnostic tool to determine the fault code. Maybe your local mechanic will have a diagnostic tool that can identify the code and what the code relates to.

Sorry, forgot to add that it should be OK to drive that distance to your mechanic, but don't leave it too long, best to get it sorted soon.

Yes. Unless a really hot day with Aircon turned on when they will rise a bit. If they rise any more you need to have the cooling system checked out
