Have you tried disconnecting the battery and reconnecting. Seems to cure some problems.

I had exactly the same thing happen to me a while back, had to get the car jump started after the battery went flat. I panicked when I got the 'dashes' mileage display, but after a while it returned to normal. Don't ask me how long it was, but I was getting concerned. I had to have the battery replaced eventually & it hasn't reoccurred.

That's really interesting and useful to know. Was the mileage up to date when it came back on.

I think it was but I couldn't remember the mileage before it displayed the dashes, wasn't expecting to have to remember it.
The battery it happened with was only just holding a charge, according to the AA patrolman who attended at the time.
I've had the new battery go flat a couple of times since & the dashes haven't made a reappearance.
