whats an inspection reset?

Resets the 12 month inspection timer, as opposed to the service lights.

[jon_pure_british]

so the lights wont start to go out until 12 months has passed?

[fowler]

FBF keep sing awhite one about i am in a tech 1 at the mo give me a bell on the number in my sig we can hook up later if you like

[FBF]

they will come on after 12 months. hen they wont go out until they are reset.

[jon_pure_british]

so basically, jump the wires and then leave the ignition on for 10 seconds or so then turn it off?

[Ziggy]

The service lights (green => red) will start to go out as you do a certain number of miles at a certain engine speed etc (I can't remember the formula). Then you can reset the service indicator.

The inspection indicator is effectively just a 12 month timer.

If both need reseting, you'll have to do it once to reset the inspection, then again to reset the service lights. Just connect the wire, turn on the ignition & wait for the inspection light to go out. Then do it again for the service lights. Takes about 10 secs yep.

I've seen plenty of recommendations to use a fused wire, but I've never bothered - just be very careful to get the right pins.

[appletree]

thats all good but he didnt say what size fuse you should use? do you think it will be ok with out?

[Ziggy]

I've done mine loads of times without a fuse. It'll be fine as long as you get the right pins.

[cliffybabe]

I've done it a few times, in fact done my next doors e30 on sunday, I have never used a inline fuse

[fowler]

well ok then cliffy plans for later fancey a little drive ???
