Rover 75 Reset Oil Service Light

Well after a small but required service on the car I had to reset the warning light. The real quick deal to reset all the requested lights on Rover 75 is to do the following

Get a small wire, Turn the key to second position, Short Pin 8 and Pin 4 on the OBD connector for “4 seconds to reset oil light”, “8-25 seconds for the other 2 lights” and this will reset the 15000 service request for oil change. Quick and easy and not legal if you do it without actually doing the service.

Reset the service light on a 2002 Rover 75

There are 3 stages
locate the obd plug and find pin 8 then
turn ignition to pos 2
with a fused wire ( a piece of wire with a fuse in it)
ground pin 8 for 4-5 seconds
turn ignition off
repeat this procedure 2 more times but for 8-12 seconds and then the service indicator will be reset.
