Hay gents!

I need to pick your brains a little bit.

My car had brakes changed before i took delivery, the dudes didnt reset the service lights on the brakes.

I tried today and now the will not reset.
same problem as this poor soul.

Any ideas how to fix it?

You have to fit a new wear sensor then reset it. The sensor wears with the brake pads, so they have to be replaced then reset the indicator.

Lots of guys don't change the sensor, one for the front and one for the rear :thumbs:
