Nissan Micra maintence reminder???

[laurentwink]

Hi everyone, i bought my brand new nissan micra last year, had a service from someone not from Nissan, and now the maintance reminder comes up on the screen every time i turn on the car, i press ok and it goes but every time i turn on the car, it comes up again - I cant seem to find this in the manual and I dont in particular want to take it back to nissan wherwe i bought it and say please fix it as I didnt have my serivce there!

What do you guys reckon?

When the service is done, the Service Technician is supposed to link the car to a diagnostic device that allows him to reset such that the car 'knows' the service has been done. Third-party (non-Nissan) servicing companies can buy the equipment necessary to do this, and are entitled to provide service that does not negate the manufacturers warranty - provided they use waranteed parts for the service. You would be well-advised to use such a service provider or you may invalidate your manufacturers warranty. It sounds like your service agent either forgot to do the reset, or hasn't got the equipment. Suggest asking him.
