cheers neilo tried the method that was in the owners manual however it didn't seem to work
ignition off
press and hold the reset miles driven
ignition on
turn the reset to the right

just didn't take for me

Theirs two ways on the old one......
key off,push button on right of dash and hold.
key on,should say oil,
Hold it until "---" comes up then leave go and twist clockwise.
insp might come up and jus press in and hold for another 10-15 seconds
no its the new new fabia no oil or inspect

when i turn the reset CW just the clock time changes
have reset them before on 04 models no prob
this just dosn't seem to be taking for me

cheers geo totally agree however can't even seem to get it to reset manually
using the combination ignition off hold reset(mileage trip) ignition on turn reset cw ignition off
