Service ESP notification?????

Just pulled up on my drive and up popped a message with a spanner saying "Service ESP" and the Electronic Stability Control icon on the rev counter side stays illuminated.
Had a look through the handbook and there is nothing stated for ESP, I imagine this is something to do with the Electronic Stability Program.
Only had the car a week and done 900 miles so it looks like a visit to the VX dealers!!!!!!!!!!

The same happened to me after about 1500 miles. I booked it into the dealers the next morning but when I got in it to take it down, the warning had gone. I took it anyway and they plugged it in to their computer but it showed no errors and had no record of it showing any errors either!

Just a random glitch i think! All is ok now and not had anything since.

Went out to the car this morning and the message didn't come up, so I didn't bother going to VX as I took yours and Lewis comments on board.

Maybe I'll pop in to VX when it suits me to get it looked at, but as you say they didn't find any reported faults so probably wasting my time...lol.
Cheers for the input chaps.

Yes its likely a spurious signal, I had one regarding 'airbag service' at about 600mls.
On next starting it was gone never to return.
The whole software thing is a bit scary, too much to go wrong !

I keep getting random service parking assist. Not sure whether it's the car telling me to wash it

I think you mean a big F5 key (refresh)!

I got the ESP service thingy too today, turned it off, took key out, fired it back up all OK.

Hmmmm!

Trust me, you wouldn't want Windows OS controlling your car !

The Windows OS 'Blue screen of death' on the dash display as your brakes automatically lockup and you hurtle over the nearest clifftop !
