Hi Guys

what is the procedure for resetting the service indicator msg? It came bit early not sure why but I am gona do full service myself, Oil, Oil Filter, Air Filter and may be Fuel Filter also.

Any help would be appreciate. cheers

Can i ask, why are you doing the service yourself ? Obviously cheaper short term.

Its out of warranty now and what dealer charges is just ridiclous. I like working on my cars and want to do things correctly. Always use genuine oil and filters etc and saves me heaps of coins, and gives me peace of mind that all done is correct.

Now can someone please let me know if there is a procedure to reset or is there any scan tool available which i can use and keep for future issues.

To my knowledge, there's no other method for your vehicle.

In terms of diagnostic tools, you'll likely be looking at either a GAP IID (the Bluetooth version is best) or BBS Nanocom. There's plenty of information and comparisons available but you may find more info on the D3 site.  Visiting from DISCO3.CO.UK

From MY08 the following works on the D3. I am told that it work on later model RRS too, but I use an IIDTool as my patience is limited:

Switch ignition off.

Press and hold the mileage reset button.

Turn ignition key to position ll.

The message " service " will flash for 5 seconds and then be permanently displayed.

Note:if the service interval indicator function is not programmed the normal odometer and trip information will be displayed.

Release the mileage reset button within 10 seconds to display " oil ".

To reset " oil " service indicator : within 10 seconds press and hold the mileage reset button for at least 6 seconds. the message " reset " will be displayed for 5 seconds followed by " inspect ".

To bypass " oil " service indicator resetting: within 10 seconds press and hold the mileage reset button for less than 5 seconds. the message " inspect " is now displayed.

To exit resetting : do not press the mileage reset button within 10 seconds.

To reset " inspect " service indicator : within 10 seconds press and hold the mileage reset button for at least 6 seconds. the message " reset " will be displayed for 5 seconds followed by " date ".

To bypass " inspect " service indicator resetting: within 10 seconds press and hold the mileage reset button for less than 5 seconds. the message " date " is now displayed.

To exit resetting : do not press the mileage reset button within 10 seconds.

To reset " date " service indicator : within 10 seconds press and hold the mileage reset button for at least 6 seconds. the message " reset " will be displayed for 5 seconds followed by " end ".

To bypass " date " service indicator resetting: within 10 seconds press and hold the mileage reset button for less than 5 seconds. the message " end " is now displayed.

To repeat resetting : within 10 seconds press and hold the mileage reset button for less than 5 seconds.

After 10 seconds : the service type and time/distance to next service are displayed.

Switch ignition off.

That's an interesting thought that LR have continued a useful feature for once. Out of curiosity more than anything, I'd like to know for sure if that does indeed work on later vehicles as I'd assumed that from 10MY on it wouldn't as I could find no mention of it still working; I suppose they aren't old enough yet for that many people to be self servicing? Visiting from DISCO3.CO.UK

I tried all that on my 10MY HSE RRS. Does not work ( no reset Buttons) As i understand it has to be done on diagnostic. Main Dealer Technition did mine as a favour,whilst sorting out otherr problems,on diognostic itisme

We have press button start so ignition key dance will not work.

Is there any scanner tool which you guys are using? I searched but cant find anything relevant.

You are best off with an IID tool from Gap diagnostics. Sold in the uk through britpart dealers. I know britpart normally means , but not in this case. A very comprehensive solution for all fault code reading, resetting and calibration/service activities.  Bodsys Brake Bible

I use a IID tool on mine purchased from Island 4X4 in the UK. I got the non Bluetooth version as its cheaper and does the same functions. (Other than live readings I believe)

Whilst the original IIDTool can access the same live data as the Bluetooth version it does do a much better job of it. For some diagnostics you need the ability to display multiple lines of data, or even graph them over time. This is where the BT version come into its own. It is also a lot easier and quicker to use too.

The BT version also has more memory and contains profiles for multiple models, so it can read fault codes and live data on all the supported vehicles. The extra connectivity means you can export fault codes, recoded log files and take snapshots.

It is an impressive bit of kit.

Thanks Robbie,
For me service reset and clearing error codes were my main requirement, anything more and off to our local LR independent expert. Depends on your requirements and level of expertise I guess.
EDIT: Also used for battery BMS reset after battery change. (Mobile LR Australia use Allianz and they replaced the battery OK but couldn't do the BMS reset as they didn't have an LR computer on the service van!)

I bought the IID tool myself after seeing it used, well worth the investment tbh. I activated my timed climate, tow bar electrics and few other useful things. Plus you can sell it when you sell the car at a later date. Resetting the service indicator is easy too. Current 2010 Range Rover Sport HSE with the usual toys: timed climate, Rosen headrest screens, tow bar with twin electrics, Blackvue HD cam

Thanks Guys that's really helpful.

Where is the best place I can purchase this online?

As above in my post, Island 4X4 in the UK I found was the best and cheapest source from Australia.
