It'll be a node which has fallen out with the canbus system, it may sort itself, disconnecting the battery may resolve it, or you'll need to have a proxi alignment done by either a main dealer or someone with www.multiecuscan.net software

Hi again Lisa,

the car is fine to drive


basically the cars "brain" is / has been lacking a connection,
that's why the mileage is flashing

common causes are a poor connection / low voltage to a sensor, ( often leaves a fault code stored in cars computer)

the simplest thing is..

getting the battery tested,
clearing the fault code / getting a CODE reader plugged in OR just disconnect battery power for an hour or more - that sometimes helps things reset.

A quiker way ( not offical, but it works ), to turn of the ignition, and remove the connector of the blue and me module (behind the glove box, 5 or 6 torx screws). Its a blue connector, 26pin i believe. And reconnect, 9 out of 10 the flashing will stop
