If there are a number of services overdue, you may have to do it a few times to clear them all.
When you turn the ignition on, do you then release the odometer button and then turn the clock adjust or do you keep the odometer button pressed?

Hi , yeah tried a few times with different combinations .... soon as the ignitions turned back on ... then release ... and tried holding in for a further 2/3 seconds also.. then turned the clock adjust .... it then goes to :   ---- then to the oil service again ... but once ive switched off then on again ... it reverts back to service int   :undecided:

i maybe need a few more attempts ... already doen it maybe 7 or 8 times ..

thanks again
