I am unable to reset the service countdown mileage on my FL2 (currently -2903) neither of the methods on here work, additionally I have used an iCarsoft v2.0 to try and reset and that doesn't wok either, sometimes I get an error "instrument tamper", other times nothing happens. Does anyone have any idea how I can get his reset please.

I can confirm at least one of those methods works as I used the same post to clear my issue.

Bought a Micra - great little car
"Upgraded" to Kia Sportage - hated it
Proper upgrade to FL2 TD4 GS 60 reg Facelift - tailgate paint issues, fuel gauge rewire, transfer box failure at 36k miles, clutch at 60k
Reconditioned diff at 70k ish
Sold at 84k and now on a DS. Terribly unreliable.
Sold DS for a 2021 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. Fingers crossed....
Sold Outlander for a 2014 SD4 SE Tech because I’m mental

Yup, love a Brazilian me..

Try taking the battery terminals off for a few minutes then try reset again, as above you can’t beat a Brazilian

Thanks for the suggestions, however I can reset the mileage, it's just that instead of resetting it to zero, I get an error message, the first method of switching on the ignition whilst holding the trip button allows access to the reset menu and I CAN reset the time (days) counter, but when I try to reset the MILEAGE counter I just get an error "cannot reset" and it goes back to showing -2309 miles to service. I have left the battery disconnected for 3 days and also shorted the terminals (obviously with no battery connnected!!) Nothing works.

^^^I had this before; but only when I had already reset the mileage and did not realize it. I would redo everything again.

Mine is a 2008 and this works for me:
1.Insert the key
2.With off ignition press trip recorder reset button
3.Keep pressed trip recorder reset button and press Start longer 2 seconds
4.There displays blinking message Service. After finishing of blinking release the button
5.There displays message DIST
6.A short press reset button will change messages DIST -> DATE -> END
7.Select DIST and hold the button longer 5 seconds there will display Reset and occur reset a
service distance
8.Select DATE and hold the button longer 5 seconds there will display Reset and occur reset a
service interval
9.Select END and hold the button longer 5 seconds there will finished the service mode

If that does not work I would use a scanner to see if you are having some communication module failure.
