    reset your service light

    does the spanner light stay on while driving?
    is there any loss of power?

    Car/spanner light isn't the service light. It's the engine electronics & autobox fault light (if fitted).

    As you've got the word INSP in the odometer, your car is on fixed term servicing.
    If however it was on the eco-flex service intervals, you'd have an oilcan/spanner warning picture flash up in the rev counter display and miles left to next service if you were to press the trip reset with the ignition turned off.

    As the car/spanner light goes off when you start the car, you have no current faults. By it staying on until you start the car, it's telling you there is a stored fault code, but there is currently nothing wrong.
