   overnight removal is best/disconnection, failing that, get a eobd cable to use with a lappy from ebay (cost £20ish) good luck

   How long did you leave the battery disconnected for mate? People say 30 minutes is enough, but sometimes its not... Your best off leaving it disconnected. (pos and neg) Overnight for at least 6 hours...
   
   
   Also, are you sure you don't have another fault?

   Citreon told me it was the lambda sensors. So i bought some, iv fitted the 1 on the manifold, but i dont have anyway of getting to the 1 underneath to do the other. I t hink this is why it is still on.

    Find a high curb 2 wheels on 2 wheels off... crawl under
    
    I got this code reader a few days ago, shows / deletes codes just fine.. just the extras like air temp / oil / water / AFR / 0-60mph times don't work.
    
    Which is a shame, because it would of been cool to see all these live sensor values. But £9 to delete codes is win.
