the 'inspection' light comes on every 12 months so the car gets a yearly service, regardless of mileage.if it has come on again then it probably wasnt reset correctly. NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT :cool: :D

as for the green light, i take it you mean a small green block has lit up? this is an indiction of how far you have til the next service!

the lights come on 1 by 1 until its at the amber and red ones-meaning the car is due a service.

hope that clears it up.... :D

Or if they've come back on shortly after being reset, your SI board batteries could well be $hagged.

320 Touring - I see you posted your reply in the middle of the night, so I suppose you can be excused, but the green lights go OFF one by one towards the service.
