Hi. I replaced my top engine mount on my 2003 hdi 90 yesterday and now I keep getting the eml light come on with anti pollution fault only when I brake then when I come off the brake it all goes away. Im baffled. Any ideas guys? Thanks in advance.

Check if the brake pad warning wire is catching on the Aux Belt pulley at the bottom. I had that happen to me, it doesn't explain the Anti-Polly message but we're talking about French electrics.....

Check carefully for any accidentally displaced electrical or vacuum pipe connections

+1 - the servo will use most of the vacuum when you brake, possibly starving one of the Electrovalves of vacuum - causing the fault.

Were any vacuum pipes removed during the mount replacement? Possibly accidentally swapped when put back on..??
