Hi guys. Thanks for the replies. Yes, changing the battery did seem to make a big difference. Perhaps I need to recharge it after it has stood for a while and get the error codes cleared. The charge to the battery is good from the new alternator and the battery is a Yuasa, so decent quality. Must admit I kinda lost focus with it as I was forced to buy a new van, which got damaged by the dealership on the day I went to collect it! I'll give this a go and report back. Thanks

Hi there. A while ago my van, a 2008 citroen dispatch 2.0 hdi, developed some unusual faults. I would get a lot of warnings about the power steering, the brakes and the anti pollution system. Fortunately the brakes never failed, but the power steering would sometimes completely fail when I started the engine. And then another time it would be 100% fine. Then it started to refuse to start up. I had a period when the van wouldn't start for 48hours. The starter would turn the engine, but no ignition. Then I had the clocks failing periodically as I drove along. I changed the alternator but made no difference. I changed the battery and that seemed to cure everything except the loss of power steering. The van has stood for a few weeks now and I started it up today to find all the problems are back. Its actually not a bad little van, and if I can cure this issue then it should be good for many more miles/years. Any ideas? Thanks.
