Brake Sensors!

Hey!

I have a MiniS and recently I got the front brake pads and sensors changed as they were low and the sensor came on.

However the sensor light still comes on even after it been replaced and checked. I went to a mini specialist garage who checked the brakes and sensors were correct used and put in (which it was) and also put the car on the computer diagnostic to check if it only needs to be reset. They tried to rest this but it wont let them. They checked the wiring was all correct and it was.

Does anyone know what the problem could be and how to resolve it?

When I start the car, I get a a few sensors coming up;

The engine light in yellow (on the big spedometer)

The first circle on the speedometer is red (I think this is the brake-pad sensor)

The fifth circle (abs sign) shows up when starting the car on the revolution counter.

The second circle on the revolution counter is red and stays red throughout driving.

Hope you guys can help, any further questions just ask

Thanks,
Avani

Think I read somewhere you just need to put the key in the ignition and turn to position 2 for 30 seconds without starting the engine, the light should go off and have been reset. It's not a computer reset.

I don't think I can change the fob into different positions, I have read this before and tried it...
