    Service light tool.

    Hi all, it's getting close to service time again and last year a very kind chap who's name forget on the VOC forum lent me his reset tool, is he still around or is there anybody else who could lend me a tool?.

    Many thanks

    Don't think I paid that much for mine(£30-40), however it was just a service light reset tool.

    Hi BigV,

    Sorry did we not reset the light when we changed your Cambelt? If your passing drop in anytime and I'll do it.

    If you want a reset tool of your own we can get you 1. IIRC it costs around £85. It will reset service and SRS lights on 96-98 Volvo S/V40,S/V/C70, 850, V90, etc


    Regards,
    Hamish.

    Hi Mike, my hand brakes fine but it is an auto, when I replaced all the disces I adjusted the hand brake shoes which may have improved it.

    I did see a Saffron S70 R in Liddles car park friday!.

    I'll be in touch when I've done my service next month.
