As mine is now something like 40,000 overdue according to the IPK, I've ordered one too. Thank you for the link.

Well there's the paperclip method I've heard about, but I like gadgets.

Connector is located below steering wheel, on the right hand side. Basically you link pins 4 and 8 of the diagnostic connector with a paper clip or piece of wire, turn on the ignition (position ‘II’) and wait several seconds. It takes between 8-25 seconds for oil change and another 8-25 seconds for resetting service intervals.

The tool is simply a case of putting it on the block and pressing a button. Impossible to get wrong and a lot easier to do. Many also come with LEDs which let you know when the reset has completed
