* D. If the trip reset button is released within 10 seconds of entering the reset mode, the information display will show 'DIST'. If the trip reset button is not released after 10 seconds the instrument cluster will exit the manual reset procedure.
o If the trip reset button is not released after 10 seconds the instrument cluster will exit the manual reset procedure.
* E. If the oil service value is to be reset, press the trip reset button within 10 seconds of releasing it and hold for more than 5 seconds. The information display will show 'RST' for 5 seconds and then reset the oil service value, the display will then show ‘END’.

No - my vehicle hasn't materialised yet, but I hope it does work as I'll be doing my own servicing when not in warranty.

I think you'll be disappointed.
Resets require the AutoLogic / LR computer.
Just pressing buttons does nothing.

The counter is not a continual display/flashing light ....... forget it

Just rang Austral Land Rover, got a quote of $740 for a 24/month service. I almost fell of my chair, anyone else done a 24/month service elsewhere that's cheaper?, dealer/non-dealer?. What choice are there other than dealer places?

Thanks

Neil,
The manual reset does work, But only on 07my onwards, and then again not all of them work. It is a hit & miss situation.
Some do & some dont..

Hi, Just had my 36000 service done (at 39739kms) at a cost of $296 - this is just basically an oil change & checking .
They did say the brake pads need doing soon (front 4mm & rear 3mm) - quoted $138 front pads & $115 for rear + quotes for sensors of $42 + $29 .
So now I am just trying to decide if I can buy them myself for a better price & have a go at fitting myself or just go back & roll over & say you win , get it done !
Unlike lots of you in cities where you have multiple dealers , in the country you are stuck with what is at hand. By the sounds of it though the dealer here isn't too bad with prices (just a pity about their attitude & friendlyness) .

You don't need sensors if they've not been activated.
Do it before the brake pad change light activates.
Don't get the discs cut either . Not necessary and another
money spinner.
