Hi and welcome from UK as well
Inspection lights are explained here.
Non-CBS. Otherwise known as Scheduled Servicing
If your car is non-CBS you may have a display on your car when you turn the ignition that looks like this
What basically happens is over time & miles (and depending on how you drive) the green lights slowly go out.
When the amber light comes on you should get your car booked in.
When the red light comes on your over due.
The display may also indicate what’s required.
The service intervals should go like this.
Oil Service, Inspection 1, Oil Service, Inspection 2, Oil Service, Inspection 1, Oil Service, Inspection 2 etc
When you switch on the ignition, you’ll see up to five green lights on your LED display. The fewer of these that come on, the sooner your next service will be due. The green light will go out once the car has started.
Following an oil service, your Service Interval Indicator is re-set, and you will now see five green lights again when you switch on the ignition.When the green lights have all disappeared, an orange light will come on, together with the word “Inspection”. As before, if you ignore this a red light will come on, indicating that the inspection is overdue.
At regular intervals, the clock symbol will appear, telling you when your brake fluid needs to be changed. Depending on the model you drive, this will either be every year or every 2 years. On completion of your brake fluid change, our Service Interval Indicator will be re-set and the clock symbol will disappear.
Here’s whats done on each service:
