I wonder if there's some sort of faulty sensor in the engine somewhere that's responsible for this as I have had this twice now. I hardly use my car and when I do it's for long trips, ie no short town driving trips on a regular basis.
The first time my 'Service Now!' came on it was less than 6 months after a longlife service and around 6k miles. I took it to a dealer who re-set the service light for me after a bit of a fuss. I had to phone the servicing dealer who then had to phone the re-setting dealer to give them the nod to do this! They said it was only because they were part of the same group they would do it at all.
I used the car for a bit during the summer then due to family issues (very sick mother needed looking after) I only used it a few times over the next few months. Drove it just before Christmas, 300 mile round trip visiting family. Parked it up again. Took it for it's MOT a month later and shoved it back in the garage once again. Next time I go to use it a month later the 'Service Now!' light is on again. No warning, nothing.
I think there must be a fault somewhere, twice in 9 months having done less than a thousand miles.
