We have had a customer ring up with an 850, N reg (95/96), and their service light in always "flashing", anyone any ideas?

Hi, I think I've heard of this before - doesn't the service light come on after 10k miles and stay on for 2 mins or so of the engine running then turn off. But if it's ignored, after some additional amount of miles it starts flashing to draw further attention to the fact it needs a service? I can't remember where I heard this so this may be pure fabrication on my part... Cheers, Pete

Mine stays on for about 2 minutes then goes out as dooby says. Been like this for 4 years or so since my brother and now me have owned the car. Probably done about 35k miles since then, but no flashing! Although if it did it would become rather annoying.
Before I bought my service light tool, I used to get it flashing if it had not been reset to warn me it needed done, but one day I had the service light flash at me a few times after a couple of misfires while on the motorway. What I did was clean the throttle body and pipes and it never flashed again. Maybe an early indicator of something else?....I don't know.
Can you not get the fault codes read?, make sure the system hasn't detected a fault somewhere?. I've never heard of the service light being used to indicate a fault but hey, you learn something everyday eh?. If you have a fault code reader then give it a whirl, you've got nothing to loose.
hi there, i have a late 95 850, nothing special but my service light was on constant, so after doing some searching i came up with a fix that has certainly worked on mine, look at the speedometer, on lower right hand side is the trip reset button, exactly opposite (on mine) there is a rubber plug, remove this, turn the ignition on and then insert something thin like the end of a pencil, and hey presto it has worked for me, now all i have to sort out is a temperamental abs light and a new lambda, but with some help from my mate (hopefully) he can put me on the right track, any further news and i will post it, cheers-peewee....:animal-smiley-085:
