Pardon the pun, but I’m getting plenty of (test report) mileage out of the orange, spanner-shaped warning light that does/doesn’t appear in the instrument panel of the CX-3.

Having showed up when it shouldn’t, 6000 miles ahead of the scheduled 12,000-mile service, and then making, the odd, short-lived appearance since, the service light has decided not to appear now that the car has actually passed the 12,000-mile mark.\

As it’s due a dealer look over, I shall be taking it to T W White & Sons in Orpington, Kent, who did/didn’t cure the problem initially. And I’ll be asking when the next service is due, just in case of another orange light no-show.
