A little orange illuminated clock has appeared above my oil service lights, I am sure I remember reading somewhere that this is also a service indicator light. For some reason I cannot find the literature on this.

Firstly, where can I find any information and secondly, what should I know about this?

Many Thanks

This is a simple 12 month alarm clock which serves as a reminder for an 'annual inspection', and for every second time it lights, a coolant, brake and clutch fluid change.

Many thanks Brian, is there anything specific you would recommend inspecting every 12 months?
