Astra 1.6 DS06 is due MOT in August. Last year it got an advisory note for service due light on. I recall a post on how to cancel this light, but cannot find it. Please remind me.

Im sure that Google will know ....

If I remember correctly :-

Foot on brake pedal, switch ignition on, press and hold the reset button on the dash next to speedometer.

[Doctor Gollum]

It's covered in Haynes iirc

If not, I'm sure DTB can tell you how to remove the bulb

slander DG , I put black tape over my warning lights ,not remove the bulbs 

It's not a bulb ,the dash warning lights are surface mount SMD LED on astra H  Even astra G IIRC

but the service interval indicator is just the word InSP on the LCD mileage section

foot on the brake, press the trip reset and hold it ,then switch Ignition to 2 , the InSP will flash for about 5 seconds ,then display ------ , release the trip button , turn off ignition, remove key, foot off the brake .

VIDEO CLICKY

However , if it is the spanner light illuminated, it's probably got stored DTCs and probably faults too  ,check all modules for stored DTCs and repair/reset using your laptop based "code reader"  Terry

Thank you gentlemen. Job Done.

As you were. The above worked first time on my Vectra. Ben brought his Astra here today, I tried the same trick, but it failed. His car says InSP2. I went through the same routine, the InSP2 flashed 10 times, then changed to a line of dashes, but when I switched off InSP2 reappeared. I am puzzled.

[dave the builder]

from memory  InSP2 is a canbus error to warn you that one or more lights are not working (eg brake or sidelight bulb blown)
and InSP3 is remote battery voltage low / replace
InSP being service oil change due ,which you can set the interval for and i think  turn off permanently

InSP - service interval display

InSP2 - Faulty Bulb

InSP3 - Battery voltage of remote control or electronic key in Open&Start system low

InSP4 - Drain water from diesel fuel filter.

Presumably thats valid for my Zaffy-A as well? Or is that only Astra-H/Zaf-B?

Astra G and Zafira A are KWP2000 not canbus
you get InSP for service interval
not seen any other error warnings

Only for the later stuff I believe

Pre MOT I changed both rear trafficator bulbs, colour pale last year. I checked all lights, all seemed OK. Rear fog light was RH only. assumed normal. Do I need to reset the InSP message?

check ALL your lights Terry 
I assume you don't have any LED lights or aftermarket HID headlamps fitted 
if not canbus compatible it will still show as an error  ,even if the LEDs light
i think even interior lights might be monitored because I've had an error  for boot lamp in the past

[Doctor Gollum]

Canbus cars have a system whereby the car will use alternative bulbs if one blows. The blown one may not be obvious
