Something is off with combustion (depollution). If it threatens the catalytic converter, the computer will try to protect it, like limp.
Do you have ODB error codes? Do you know the readings from the oxygen sensors at each end of the converter? This is the first step.
Tyre pressures are easily checked and fixed.

Did you clear all codes, to get rid of meaningless history, and give it a run and reread to get current ones?
I don't know the codes with letters. 2302 is an ignition coil (B). Swap and see if the fault changes.
p2122 and 2177 are the throttle/pedal switch, probably earthed or open circuit.
Is this an auto? u0101 is the transmission control. Attend to others first.

Eddie, you should give as much info as you can up front, not wait for people to ask you. What happened? History of the current issue? You had the codes, what else do you know?
Yep would’ve had an answer by now swap the coil

I have done nothing else for lack of knowledge yes it is a Manuel shift. How it happened an why it happened an what the codes mean I don’t know we did clear them but they returned straight away I was thinking for there to be so many codes maybe there is an underlying problem that is linked with them an not really them at all eg a dirty electrical connection so I pulled everything apart an used contact cleaner to no prevail [emoji144]
what’s next step would you guys recommend?

From what's been said, the fault may lie in an ignition coil. If a cylinder isn't firing properly, the partially burnt fuel can poison the cat converter, and the computer will react. Can you detect a misfire by feeling for exhaust gas pulsations at the tail pipe?
If you disconnect and lever up the levers on the plug cables, the coils lift out. You'll feel resistance from the rubber insulators. Try swapping the middle pair, and the first and last pair, at each swap starting the car and clearing and reading the codes. If the code changes you can deduce the bad coil. You can buy coils from the usual importers. This is the first step, and may be all that is needed. BTW don't let it get wet down those plug holes.
There may be poor connections behind the other codes, but one should try to sort out the combustion issue first.

Ok thanks there is a misfire I’ll try an source a coil tomorrow an give it a go! Thanks again !

Don’t forget cylinder 1 is flywheel end

Actually this is a very sensible approach! Another issue to eliminate when you get an unexpected cluster of codes is a dying battery - it is possible for a battery to be producing a lower voltage than required for correct operation of the computer, while still producing enough current to start the motor.

Hi Eddie, note some time has passed but what was the outcome? I have had the tyre pressure sensor come on for LH front and usual triangle warning light on dash instruments, inflated tyre to ~38 and it stopped but now the engine can runs very fast as soon as the car is running and for a long time after you stop the car. I’m in Darwin and relocated the car from Sunshine Coast due to work so little options on PSA specialist up here. I haven’t yet done fault finding or removal of plugs, it’s wet season up here so assumed it maybe electrical related with high humidity and rainfall. Tim
Hi Timmy,
Generally, that fan behaviour indicates there are engine ECU faults present.
It needs plugging in to a code reader to see what they are.
