 So broke down on M25 car went into limp mode engine light on ESP/ASR warning light on. Anyone had this?

I have C4 GRAND PICASSO VTR+ HDi 1560cc 2012.

Diagnostic tool mate used won't read all errors, says need Citroen diagnostic thing is don't want to drive need a mobile mechanic with that kit.

I am near sevenoaks kent, anyone on here know of anyone close to me?

mates diagnostics says fuel injector 4 fault, but he thinks may not be injector...could be a ecu fault...

Thing is could be a few faults

I just had the fuel additive done getting worried this car is going to be a never ending pit of bills...

Help please

 Maybe is simply brake light switch which is behind brake pedal

 PO271 Was one

P0269
PO266
P0269
P0272

AND A FEW OTHERS

But my mechanic says when his revving it sounds ok and the fuel cylinders seem to be firing up. Then at 2000 revs the limp mode kicks in I think...

But he wants me get a full diagnostic check

also if its all the injectors I'm screwed one cost 300 quid doesn't it?

 Everything points towards the injectors but I find it hard to belive that all have gone so I would check the harness & connectors to start with

 Had exactly the same problem yesterday with our C4 GRAND PICASSO VTR+ HDi 1560cc 2012 - ESP/ASR warning light and limp mode with absolutely no previous indication of a problem. Code P0271 Injector 4 fault. Had to be recovered by AA. Took garage 5 hours to replace the injector as it was stuck fast. £933 inc VAT and part. The car's only worth £1400 but we needed it back on the road quick! Have to say, whilst it's very practical for a family of 6 plus dog, it is the most unreliable car I've ever owned. Things just 'go' on it out of the blue and it's very expensive to fix. It's now earmarked for disposal!!
