Long shot but mine did it a couple of times and it was the battery dropping down far enough that it cleared it.

Yeah could be i guess but it only resets the MFA.
Surely it would reset the memory on the ICE too?

not 100% on this guys but might shed a little light!
i think the number 1 part of the mfa resets after the cars been parked a certain amount of time
and the number 2 part is the total until you reset that yourself.
hope that helps

Cheers but it completely resets on both 1 and 2.
Will try a new battery but if anyone else has another view i would be keen to hear.
