Hi, Just had my C5 2litre petrol serviced ,not by dealer.
Is it possible to reset the service indicator myself or must i go to a dealer.
Also how can i stop windows closing every time wipers come on,or must this be done by dealer.

Many Thanks for any help.

To reset hold the trip mileage reset button in and turn on ignition, hold the button in until the distance has counted down to zero turn off ignition and all should be ok

as for the windows try this

Wait for about 15 mins after turning off the engine.

Disconnect the battery - count to ten - reconnect. Lock and unlock the doors using the key in the lock. Lock and unlock them with the remote (resets the immobiliser otherwise car won't start!)

Now operate each electric window in turn - fully down - then fully up and just hold your finger on the button at the top of travel for a second (resets sensors)

Finally, you'll have to re-tune radio and reset the clock, auto wipers, auto headights, cruise control etc - all as per handbook.

This should sort it out. You might even find it has resolved various other little electrical gremlins. Think of it as rebooting your PC.
