any ideas how to turn it off! we do our own service oil etc but the alarm goes off every minute, last time Ebett in Tga turned it off when they had serviced.

it is in owners handbook. Only takes 10 seconds to do but as above what model.
1. Hold down the steering wheel's trip button 2. Turn on the ignition 3. Release the trip button and then press enter (press the left scroll wheel in) 4. It should ask if you want to reset the service reminder ??

The above one is for the wrong model, this one is the correct one,
Service Reminder Reset
Hold the UP and DOWN buttons then turn ignition on, wait until you hear the beep(3 secs). Screen displayed "Service Reminder 60,000" Press and hold SET until the beep. Display shows "Service Reminder, No Items"

Does it say 'service engine soon'! If so it means there has been an engine fault code logged, they do that if a non critical fault has occured, it does this instead of putting the check engine light on. Only a scan tool will get rid of it, after whatever the fault is has been fixed of course.

Follow these instructions to the letter,
The VZ Service Due Reminder can easily be reset by the car owner, as follows. Ignition OFF, hold down the 'UP' and 'DOWN' buttons of the trip computer. While holding them, turn ignition ON.Keep buttons down for about three seconds. Then press and hold the set button, until you hear a 'beep'. The display should read 'SERVICE RESET NO ITEMS'. Press and hold the'set' button again for 3 or 4 seconds, the 'SERVICE OIL' lamp will go out, turn ignition off, then on again. DONE.

Re read post #8, the service reminder has been reset successfully, if, and a its a big if, it is still saying service engine soon there is a fault code logged. It will need interrogating with a scan tool if this is the case. OK.

Kingfisher thanks we have tried that and no differance it is also flashing up immediatly after "service vehicle soon" to "change oil" also, my husband changed the oil last week and said he slightly overfilled it would this make a differance! the service resety no items comes straight up after the initial 3 second hold down it dosent let me hold down the set button again as it immediatly flashes up service vehicle soon again. thanks for your help.

"service oil" warning is a fault, fairly well known at dealers, take it in and they will run you throught the options

was going to say take it to ebbets and they might even show you or do it for free and can check other fault codes whilst there
