Did you check the strainer in the tank?
2002 HDi 2.2 Exec Estate, (2008-12) (wonderful)
2003 HDi 2.2 6-speed Exec Estate (2012-19) (also a gem)
2009 Citroen C5 2.0 HDi VTR+ Estate (godawful heap)
2008 BMW E91 330i touring (great fun - murdered by a reversing SUV)
2007 BMW E91 325i touring (slower smoother quieter)

It's dead easy, just lift the back seat, driver's side & there it is. It's do-able in half an hour or so.

I found a local garage who were happy to read the codes for free (up yours Peugeot!).

They cleared the codes, then checked again following day and only fault present was:

'brake & accelerator pedal inconsistant' (or words to that effect)

It has led us to the conclusion that the brake pedal switch may be faulty, fooling the ECU into thinking that they're both pressed simultaneously (I managed to replicate the fault by revving in neutral and pressing the brake). So for the sake of £7 I've bought a switch and will fit it as a trial. Trouble is it sounds very awkward to get at! Any tips (or should I give up now take it back to the friendly garage).

BTW the friendly garage are Liphook Motors in Aldershot, recommended by H&H nearby.
