    Default service indication

    Hi
    Had my Elite since November, bought under the understanding car had full service and was up to date. Service books last entry is at 35k, car to date has done 38k. When i turn the ignition on for about 5 seconds i get a spanner and oil can icon displayed, nothing else, ie no milage to next service.
    Does this mean the car is needing a service, just wanted confirmation before i go guns blazing back to the dealer tomorrow.
    Cheers

    if given a service by the dealer's then the light will not have been on, just go back and ask them to reset it

    No, take it back and say the car is now reporting a service is due
    Their paying for it, so get another one free!

    It may just need resetting. Check the colour/condition of the oil on the dip stick. It should still be fairly clean if its only done 500 miles.

    It is really quick and easy to reset the indicator . Put key into ignition but dont turn.
    Push in the trip button at bottom of speedo clock whilst your foot on the BRAKE pedal. Whilst doing this turn on the ignition to stage 2. The display will flash for 10 to 12 seconds and then the display will clear. It is now reset. To check turn off ignition completely. then hold down the trip button it will display the milage to next service !!
