Did the battery go flat?

You can get it to default to English in such circumstances, but needs a Tech2.  GM couldn't be arsed to do that in the factory.

No problems with the battery,co incidently it happened when the transmission selector locked itself in park.I still have the selector problem and at the moment I'm releasing the selector manually,as the car is going up to Serek next week for a bit of investigation work re the foot brake switch.Will definitely try Tunnies tip. ;)

Hmmm, for it to just lose its settings for no reason is slightly concerning.  Any other symptoms with NCDC or display?

No other symptoms/warnings with the car at all other than the occasional car with the spanner icon coming on and then disappearing, and just having to be a part time gynecologist and having to stick my fingers into the internals of the selector mechanism to move the flap to allow drive etc to be selected.I had the car out over the weekend and gave it a 200 mile workout without problem.But definitely a problem with the brake pedal switch is number one and the German hyroglifics are just a bit of a nuisance. :-\

Nope, first time was after a lunch break, second time was when popping to the shops, so would have been left along all but 3 mins.

The only common denominator is it happened after a engine restart.
