Thanks for that Grrrrr, Just West of Brighton is a fair bit closer to me. I had a nice drive out there last time and had a coffee in a quaint little cafe while Rick worked his magic on his "while you wait" service, then I brought it home with me. Happy!
I, admittedly naively, originally had the RR towed to the nearest dealership, where they proceeded to "carry out a BECM check" (£110 !!) before writing my car off (telling me it needed a whole new BECM, so was uneconomical to repair) ! They also told me that the original "fault"y one was from a scrapped French P38. What??!!
The BECM is well know to switch to French with certain fault conditions.
 
If the BECM is in an alarmed state. Language becomes French and date will be 1990 or so. It can sometimes be sorted by entering EKA code. If that does not work it will need to be unlocked with specialist diag to be reset.
 
Thanks for your replies guys, I lost my "French For Beginners" book at school (or the dog ate it, along with my homework), so a call to Datatek/Callrova is on the agenda methinks :)

I can't help you with the BECM, I only the EAS diagnostic cable.
