Service days not counting down

[Vector-Sport]

Hi, first post on this new site.

Not the biggest issue in the world but for a couple of months now the days to service is not counting down - its been stuck at 720days since I last reset it.  The Oil quality % is falling as expected.  I've tried advancing the year to 2014 to reset again but when I've done the date change I don't get 'due for service' up or the reset service option (I have in the past when I've reset it previously).

Anyone know why this could be?  Thanks.

Possibly just a glitch, have you tried disconnecting the battery for ten minutes to reset the whole car?

Don't worry...once it gets to 2014 it will start to count down ! Other than that its a quick Tech 2 jobby ! I did this ONCE and had to wait 2 years before it started to count down. In effect the car thinks it is 2014.... but you've put the year back to 2011. If you set the date to 2014 I think you'll find it will start to countdown...but of course your date will be wrong on the sid.

Saabman, yes a couple of weeks ago I had the battery off for half a day to try and cure another issue but this hadn't fixed the service counter.
Ambisaab, yes I wondered this so had the date wrong at 2014 for a while but it still didn't start counting down.
Anyway never mind I can certainly live without the counter.

On another note - I have today proved why all the audio cuts out now and again.  Had some wet house bricks in the car all day and windows had steamed up with condensation, and the audio was dead - no stereo, no SID etc.  Must be the amp under passenger seat must be dodegy in humid conditions as has also done it after i've jet washed the car sometimes.

With this car rather than a days to service would be better to have a days since the last problem counter - would be an achievement to get it into double figures!
 
Thanks...
