Likely to be the infamously unreliable roof module which screws up the CANBUS. If I recall DO NOT TRY OPENING THE ROOF. It may open but won't close again which given the weather warnings would be a bad thing!
At the outside it could be a low battery, but assuming it starts OK that seems pretty unlikely.

I'd suggest calling a dealer or independent tomorrow to confirm my suggestion.

The above or the battery is gone. My electrics on my first vantage went skatty when the battery died.

This I expect. Apparently you can unplug it and all the other stuff will start working again fine until you replace it. Not sure where it is though I'm afraid.

It's behind the tyre pump stuff panel in the boot, right hand rear behind the wheel arch. Not easy to identify and unplug though! That will bring everything back to normal but no hood action.

Car will run ok, or mine did all the 1000 miles back fron the south of France. Bit annoying having all those warnings and not having indicators or speedo ect

Bad news it's over £500 for the replacement part + fitting cost And VERY common but covered by warranty if you have it.
