   Service the car then
   
   With the ignition off... hold down the button beneath the tacho. Twist the key two clicks and you'll see a countdown timer once it hits zero you're done.

   It has been serviced recently ... I have reset it before and it was 12000 miles before the next one was due. But it hasn't been 12000 miles since :s does it change on how you drive the car? I havnt even done 12000 miles since I bought it :s

   Shouldn't change dude... But you can select the service interval, perhaps you set it to 6000 or something? If you are ragging it around then obviously the shorter intervals are going to be more beneficial.

   don't think they can be changed 12500 is standard if they can then it would be interesting to know how.

   if your spanner is still on your clock display, if you haven't already done so: just put your key in, hold the left dial button in then turn your key twice (before engine turnover) then it should count down to reset the service to 15k miles and no spanner.. keep hold until its counted from 10.
   
   voila
