Stupid Service Reminder Thing

[anonymous-user]

You guessed it - mine's gone off again even though it's not due for a service until November. Curiously it says "35,000 miles" + spanner symbol which is odd when you consider it's supposed to be every 10,000 miles. Also, it's only done 21k. Is there any way to permanently turn off this ridiculous reminder or at least reset it to reflect the car's true mileage?

I think I've sussed it: 35,000 kms = 21747 miles. My car currently reads 21263; taking into account it came on about 100 miles ago I'm wondering if it's giving me a 1000km warning until it requires a 35,000km service. In other words the ODO reads miles while the service reminder is still calibrated for kilometers.

Does this sound reasonable?
