Orange light appeared with spanner and oil can

Postby Puntoandy » Tue Oct 21, 2008 8:26 pm

Today out of the blue, a light has lit up and not gone out since.

Its a spanner next to an oil can (light up in orange).

I wondered if it was oil level, Ive checked that and its perfect?

Is it service interval?

it means you're due for a service - the garage that does it will turn it off for you :D

A lot more things to a service than just those items.
