Just to add it does this at random times and once it has finished its fit everything works fine again.

Thanks

Ive heard of this before. It could be a faulty Sam Control Module causing this to happen and the 'Display Faulty Visit Workshop' message to appear. It will have to be plugged into STAR before anything can be done

check radio wirings

its to do with radio system unplug it out, its wires touching.If not during the snow water could have gone into lights so check all carefully when you can.

It could possibly be a faulty cluster too.

Hi Guys,

Just to let you know that problem was caused by the rear sam/fuse unit, this was replaced under warranty and so far no more problems

Thanks
