Ok, so the oil service light has come on. If I do the service myself, is there anyway to reset the service counter thingy?

thanks!

p.s. sorry if this is already posted elsewhere, but search found nothing (oh and the first result for "oil service" was "condoms" ;)

you can buy the tool from somewhere like gsf for about Ԛ£12 or search and you will find a more dodgy method using a piece of wire and shorting it out

Nothing dodgy about using a piece of wire to short pin 7 to earth. That's exactly what the tool does, but with a timer.

ta you two.

I remember seeing an image floating about showing which pin is which, any ideas where that is?

pre face lifts have the pin numbers on the bottom of the dust cap, post facelifts have little numbers next to each pin.

Fused wire rings a bell?
