Service Light Question!
Discussion
Hi everyone,
My car had an amber service light pop up a month ago. I took it to Sytners who said the front brakes needed changing in 1000 miles but the service was not due for 10k miles or April 2013.
Based on this information I assumed the service light was linked to the brake pads and had the front brake pads changed just before its MOT last week.
Now the service light has turned red and keeps appearing every time I turn on the car.
I have looked online and have seen there is a separate brake warning light...so why on earth is the service light coming up!?
Any ideas anyone?

If you go into the service info menu you can see what each of the service elements are, front and rear brakes, fluids, oil, mot etc....The MOT light is reset by the garage after they do the work.
From experience it is useful to check that the garage resets lights before you leave. They have forgotten to do this before. Always check what you have had the reset done.

How do you get in to that menu? I just have the rev counter above the wheel with the tiny screen and not a sat nave screen...TYIA!raptor600 said:
