Quite often a battery that is old and on its way out can cause spurious fault messages. If the car is more than 6 years old and still on the original battery then you may well find that a brand new battery will solve the problem. If your do buy a new battery make sure that you get the correct one for a 206cc, otherwise it won't fit properly. They are taller.

Good luck. Let us know how you get on.

Damn, I wish I knew this when I replaced my battery a year ago! The smaller battery kept having it's positive terminal popped off by the battery housing, my mechanic cut away some of the housing but that didn't sort it, we ended up putting a piece of wood under it like a booster seat! Now I have a mangled battery housing :evil:
