...there is only one way...take it in for service

As daft as Edward's comment might appear I think he is essentially correct.  This is one for the dealer to sort out for you. Dave

"When stationary, press Info, scroll through to service, enter it and then hold the + & - keys for 10 secs to re-set the indicator."

thanks for the advice guy's    but i would like to know whether i would need to use a scan tool such as a 'Carmen Scan Tool' utilizing the 'OBII' System or whether its a matter of a sequence of ignition key/odometer reset buttons. Vehicles such as the Mercedes E series can be reset this way, without the need of so called Dealer expertise. I would appreciate it if you could shed some light on my query??

Oh cool, well this is news to me, so glad to be aware of for the future.  BTW what on earth is a "Carmen Scan Tool for utilizing the OBII system".  Sounds like a cross between a Spanish opera and Starwars !!

I would have gone with the service option, it sounded alot easier.

Some of our club sposors have the Alfa Analyser for the modern era of cars.  I had my 156 done for free when the breaks were done.  In some instances the cost is about $80.00.

Remember with regular service, the selespeed is adjusted and reset also so you have multiple benefits.

Cheers.
