I think it means that you need to change the battery in the key fob.

Thanks for that mate, I think i have bigger problems now though, message dissapeared altogether, but coming home just now from shooting this AM , i got a ping up pops a message INFO Anti Pollusion Fault.

Gets home seems to be running fine, but just went out to move it get a van out the building and engine lights on now, Looked in handbook they are calling it Anti polution light or something similar. .

Oil ok water ok, its now spluttering a little hesitating at about 3000 rpm.

I tell you This emissions stuff is killing these diesels this Peugeot its just one warning after another with it, I had 305s 309s zxs 405s citroens 300k on a BX 1.9 i had never missed a beat, now these things all this electric and emissions strangulation its just going from one fault code to another. Sorry RANT over i feel so much better now.

Have the same 'warning' on a Pug my folks have- always seem to occur when they have let the battery go flat ( it's a car at their holiday place)

I take it out and give it a good 'thrash' and every time the warning has disappeared?

All of this computer stuff they put in cars today in some ways it is good but I am getting to long in the tooth to be bothered with it I think if I was younger and up to it I would buy an old land rover put a new Galvanised chassis and forget about all of there computer problems.

For your engine fault light (and related running problems) I start by looking at the egr valve

I will have a look at that, i drove it today its spluttering on acceleration and to like juders on overun at about the same engine speed.

Dont think its a mechanical fault its quiewt enough and an instant starter, could it be mas air flow meeter?

[Budice]

Eloys fluid probably needs replenishing mate.

[benbaikal]

has some one else said clean egr valve out first step .engine known for it

[Cannon]

Sounds DPF related. Not sure if it's a wet or dry DPF system on your car, but a lot of modern wet DPF diesels are now using adblue. This needs topped up every so often. EGR valves can also create problems as mentioned above.

Anti pollution light is off now, a mate from york took the car last night read the codes came up with ccode for Air flow circuit, traced it to a broken wire repaired it and put the light out, its not stutering now but no idea why but cruise control is not working.

Getting sick of this its going i cant be doing with carp like this its like a threat hanging over me everytime i get in the thing.

I know i got to get a code reader even if its a cheap one, any one any ideas on a good cheap reader off the bay that will see my through this heap of junk and any similar modern ellectronic nightmate of a car im likeley to be buying in the future please.
