I'm doing a service on a Mini Cooper 'S' this month

[Webby the Bear]

yeah but look at all the service items....... plugs, airbox, oil folter etc etc all easily changed 

admittedly though the supercharger on my mates car takes up a lot of room

That does look impressive though

Sorry my Photobucket isn't working but this is the supercharged version

Similar to the Mercedes I did a few months back, this one has a stupid Service Interval Display (SID) to reset after it's done 

This is a 56 plate Supercharged bad boy. Anyone know if there's anything to be aware of?

The oil filter is in the engine bay and it's an element jobbie with a 30mm (or something like that) nut.

Any extra info would be grat... like to be as prepared as possible

My Jeep has one of those and it won't re-set so get a message every time is starts up telling me 'service due'....

Have you Googled for a way to reset it? The Merc has one, as does her Smart, they both count miles & time down to the next service, but you are able to reset them both. They're both reset by pressing odometer buttons within so many seconds of turning the ignition on.

My sister-in-law's Astra H fooled me when I tried to reset its service message ...... you had to have your foot on the brake pedal as you did the reset
