Hi Blue I have a 1996 850 2.5S 10V estate,I can reset my light by removing a small rubber grommet to the left of the tripmeter and pressing a button with a pen.According to Mr Haynes there are 2 types of instrument panel,one can be reset using this method,one cant.Hope this is your panel,Mick.

Dunno if this is of any help but for my 1999 T reg v70 T5 I held down the mileage reset button turned on the ignition and waited for service light to flash. Once it starts flashing release button immediately, do not wait for light to stop flashing as it will then remain on, turn off ignition then turn back on. Jobs a goodun!

Are there any other tricks for other messages, such as removing the message about the ABS needing servicing?

Does anyone know if this will work on my 98 "S" reg V70T SE my service light is not on at the moment, I'm just curious for future reference
