Just had the car serviced and this lamp (on main dash) is going on and off intermittently (when going over bumps especially). It did this before the service and is still flashing, does your standard service look at this or should I bring it to their attention on Friday when it goes back in?

First dealer service in a while (usually get a mate to service it) and was half expecting some problems but touch wood only a new throttle cable and a bit of welding required :P

Either worn pads somewhere or a dodgy sensor on the hubs I would say.
