The main dealer set my service light (without telling me) to come on after 900 miles because my rear brake discs were slightly rusty. I had the discs and pads changed by a local garage but they did not / could not reset the service light set by the mini dealership. I followed the instructions on this forum for resetting the service light myself but the 900 miles appeared when I was resetting it and I think that the light may come on again after 900 miles. Is there a way of removing this 900 mile limit completely or will I have to take it back to the main dealer?
Yes thankyou for that but I had already gone through that procedure and was successful at removing the red light but not the 900 miles limit which I think will make the light come on again after 900 miles.
Thank you very much for your replies . I think they said that the sensors were ok so they didn't replace them but the main dealer set the service light to come on at 900 miles so I am not sure whether the sensor is the issue as I was able to get the service light off with the exception of the 900 mile setting.
Sorry I also meant to say that the pads were not worn too bad but I agreed to replace them along with the discs as I had got a lot a lot of miles out of them- approx 65,000 miles!
