Had a odd thing happen ! first time in over 9yrs !
switched the ignition on , and the oddometer read 77... miles and the top one read a different number for a very short time ?
after say 10 seconds both sorted itself out jumping around , now back to the correct 180k and correct top number
My Question is : does this mean somebody has messed with the mileage , ie: clocking it , or has this happened to others ?? Been OK since
whats going on ??

Re: whats going on ??
Sounds like just an electronic glitch, I was an electronics engineer for 50 years but I don't understand modern vehicle electronics - or most others come to that.
If it occurs again you cold try a BSI reset or it could be that your battery voltage is low, check for about 14.4 volts across the battery with the engine running.
I have a C5 with intermittent wipers, they have been working most of the time but didn't a couple of days ago, I did a reset and they work now!

carpets are dry as a bone
its happened again! so will keep an an eye on it
Question: Bsi reset , does it affect the ECU MAP? (forgive my ignorance on the subject)

No, it won't affect the ECU.
