I've got a inspection/oil light reset tool which I used on my D-reg
The tool has a large (40mm dia.) circular plug with 4 pins visible. There is a plastic keyed prong in the centre. It has two switches - on/off and oil/inspection. Red LED for power and green/yellow for oil/insp.
What EMU system would this car have used? Bosch?
Is the tool worth anything to anyone?
Lots of devices sold in Autotrader, Exchange & Mart and on ebay to do what you require.

I've already _got_ one, thanks, just want to know a bit more about it so I can advertise it with an accurate description. There's some pics of it at
You can use a bit of wire to do the same job. Or even the much quoted paperclip. A code reader/reset tool is of more use for later cars.
It happens that Dave Plowman (News) formulated :
..and a lamp!
What for?
To see the bit of wire?
Dave Plowman (News) laid this down on his screen :
To flash the fault codes. The lamp flashes long and short flashes, the format of which when decoded, indicates any faults found or none.
But not if the rechargeable battery soldered to the back of the instrument panel has died.

OK, thanks. Bin it is then.
or put it on ebay, or freecycle, or give it to the owner of a suitable car when you see one.

Gave it to the owner of my local backstreet garage this morning when I took the Mini in for a brake check.
