Hi and welcome, but do you really have to fit lexus lights to a british icon like a ZT260? :vomit

Bring the car to the MG Era event at Brooklands on Sunday and a) you'll get to see 30 plus of these cars together and b) I'll bring my service reset tool along and reset your service indicator

:ashragman,many thanks,but just found out,once the 5000mile oil change has been done,it resets itself back to the 5000 countdown. Many thanks for your offer, mike.

I notice you're in Swindon. Nip along the M4 on Sunday morning and meet up with a small :rolleyes: group of us at the M4 Reading (East bound) services before we trundle off to Brooklands. We're aiming to be at Reading by 9am.

Did you do the change yourself or did you have it done. The counter doesn't reset itself, it has to done with a tool (Be that T4 or other)

So getting a oil change done this coming Wed then treating myself to a custom made s/s exhaust system, I will get some pic,s up soon cheers Mike.
