I know it's an old chestnut but has anyone ever found out how to delete the service indicator on the "Chinese" TF which doesn't involve visiting an MG dealer?
I know PSCAN will do it but that's an expensive way to go about it?

Re: 2010 TF Service Indicator
To the best of my knowledge, outside the dealership network, pscan represents the only way to reset the service indicator. A shame: on the ZTT the service indicator can be reset with a paper clip to short two pins! Unfortunately, it isn't so easy on the TF/ MG3/ MG6 etc.

Re: 2010 TF Service Indicator
Rob, can't say anything about the MG3 but on the MG6 it is an easy reset as it is included in the menu system on the 'thumb wheel' on the steering wheel itself. When my local garage reset it last December, they also reset the over speed warning alarm which was a shock once exceeded 70mph for the first time as had major red flashing on the screen I soon reset that to a more sensible upper speed levelRob Bell wrote:To the best of my knowledge, outside the dealership network, pscan represents the only way to reset the service indicator.
