Thats what I thought should happen Si, but as mentioned above, it only flashes & tells you how many days your overdue when you press the trip button whilst the service countdown is showing on 'startup'.

I seem to remember an old work colleagues MINI One showing just the clock symbol when it was due for brake fluid change, and my manual seems to support that this should happen, but not on mine!

Not sure if its relevant to this thread, but got the MINI booked in for a service, I was told that it was still in TLC when purchased last septemeber, so hope it is (but thats another matter and one I will check in the book) .....anyway my question is......would you leave an aftermarket induction kit in for a service or swap it back for the standard air box? Common sense says it should go back to standard so they cant moan about anything, but then again why should it matter, I hope I'm just worried about nothing!

Leave the induction on, they won't touch it, although dependant on service if it's just an oil change they wouldn't touch it anyway only check the condition.

Nice one, will do, I know from past experience its just oil and pollen filter, I was just a bit worried about voiding any warranties etc....

Really glad it’s booked in though, the oil is black as anything and I have been itching to do it myself for ages.

Don’t think I will bother with TLC XL, will just do any future services myself, as and when they are warranted, never had any problems on previous cars.
