Exhaust emissions light - still ok to drive?

Car has been a bit jumpy lately and driving home last night the exhaust emissions light kept coming on when i put my foot down (but off again when i lifted) and the car felt like it was mis-firing. Just changed the HT leads as thought this was the problem and it seems to have solved it but the exhaust emissions light is now on constantly. Is it ok to continue driving? Have i got a problem elsewhere or does the light just need to be reset?

Well i ended up driving it and yes it was fine, then yesterday i started it up to find the light had gone out! Strange.
Cheers for the offer tegwin, actually just moved and live in Bristol now! Out of interested did you just buy a vag-com cable off ebay?
