service symbol (the little spanner) still on

[tommy85steele]

i have just had my car service by my mate who is a mechanic but the little spanner which is the service symbol is on all the time, any ideas on how to remove this myself and how do you set the clock on the speedo as i didnt receive a book on it so how do i set the clock and get the little spanner symbol off, thanks for any answers

turn the key one click, hold in the right hand side button then turn the key to the next click, it should then count down when it gets to zero let go. as far as i can remember.

hey thanks this works if you turn the key one click then hold the left button in then then turn the key a second click then let the clock go down from 9 to 0 then the spanner disapears.

if you turn the key one click and hold in the right button and then turn the key 1 more click then it lets you change the time, i changed the time to the correct time then as soon as i switch the ignition off then turned it back on again the time seem to reset and go back to 1:00, any ideas on how to save the time, thanks.

turn the ignition on and hold the left hand button,the hour digit will start to flash then press it however many times to set the hours then leave it for a second then the mins digit will start flash repeat the previous step when it is set right turn the ignition off. it should now be set

i have done this with the left button and that seems to work for the service symbol (little spanner) if you do this with the right hand side button then you can change the time on the clock but as soon as its set and its not flashing when i turn the ignition off it seems to go back to 1:00 on the clock, anymore ideas, thanks.

Or just refer to your handbook as it tells you in there how to re-set it.

does this apply to the mark 1 as well?

sorry didnt receive a service handbook, and just havent got round to looking for one.

MK1 Saxos don't have service indicators.

[DevilDamo]

Nor do they have digital tachometers (i.e. mileage/trip counters)? I think...

[Luke]

That's correct Damo.

They had the analog ones.
