1. How to reset the "service engine" light?
2. What is required for 100k service?
3. How to reset Radio from "CODE" screen?
4. There is a lot of radio interferance noise from the engine is this normal?

Thanks, Dan

1. How to reset the "service engine" light?
This vehicle is obdII compliant. Just get an OBDII code reader. The plug is right above your right shin when your foot is on the gas.

2. What is required for 100k service?
Don't know off the top of my head but if it were mine I'd replace all the fluids, spark plugs, wires, filters.

3. How to reset Radio from "CODE" screen?
You'll need the factory code for the radio. Then follow the procedure in the owners manual for typing it in. If you don't have the code try the dealer or buy a used radio from someone who has their code (I have one by the way. Plan to ebay it some day)

4. There is a lot of radio interferance noise from the engine is this normal?
Mine didn't have any that I can remember.

Your service schedules are every 15,000 mile increments (excluding oil changes). Here is one resource. Also, get a copy of the RAVE cd or buy a service manual - preferrably a free RAVE cd.

100,000 service is complete fluid flush and wallet rip-off used by LR dealership. Flush the fluids yourself and save $600.

Radio interference could be electrical short or ground fault within speakers or radio.
