Vauxhall Vectra vectra c 2008 1.8 sri - engine / emissions light on, (yellow engine shaped light, not spanner)

MOT pass just a couple of days ago now, Engine/emissions light has come on (the yellow one, looks like an engine). And I've noticed at idle car is fine, giving a bit of gas to 1000-200rpm feels sluggish and feels like the engine is shaking/vibrating when stationery. Around 2000rpm and above, giving much smoother performance. Before I get it plugged in, has anybody experienced something similar or any helpful hints as to what might be causing this. Mileage is currently 85k. Could it have something to do with needing to replace CAM belt?

I believe cam belt should be changed at 10 yrs or 100k . A cam belt kit should be used . But not likely to trip EML , which will need scanning to retrieve fault codes .
