    its more than likey just a software fault steve, However if it does re-occur, take off the front bumperskin and look at the electrical connectors on the pumpmotor located under the driver side headlamp.. examine the connectors for any corrision and re assemble with a little petroleum jelly to fight against any more possible corrision..

    for a one off,( that fixed itself by turning off and on again) then i'd say software fault..

    This has happened to quite a few of vectra c owners, it's caused by something not registering correctly when you switch the ignition on.
    It happened to me one morning a few months ago, I restarted the car and since then it has never happened again.
