I've been watching the service light miles countdown on my 08 120d and once it reached 1500 miles it's gone from yellow to red and no longer displays any miles. I thought it would continue to show the miles countdown till you reached zero and then go to red. could this be flagging up something else as the car is running fine and all the checks show no problems.

I went on holiday earlier on in the june with my indicator on yellow for brake fluid change. two weeks later, it was red and the car hadn't moved an inch in the two weeks... mind of its own lol. needless to say its booked in for a change this sat :)

Time moves on as your car stands still. TIME and condition based servicing.

Brake fluid change would be totally time dependant wouldn't it? If you changed it and parked it for 2 years it would still want doing

I thought it was time @ mileage. Clearly just time related. Needs doing anyway if I'm honest :)
