I Had this problem with my 1.4 last week, sprayed a bit of WD40 (strange i know) into the comms unit, cuz i read on a forum that someone had exactly the same problem & apparently iron filings fall onto the circuit board and cause your car to do crazy things (windscreen wipers etc.)so gave it a go and it stopped doing it.
i thought it was my CD player so unclipped it for a few days and everything was running okay without it plugged in, decided put my faceplate back on today and whatta you know its running smoothly.
it did say on the forum though that you have to do it every 12months or so
Lee did tell me my comms unit was knackered and i needed a new one but my pugs working fine now
Dunno if that helps
Surely a can of compressed gas to remove the filings would have been safer?

If I disconnect the battery does that effect the factory fitted stereo in any way? e.g. do I need a code?
Multiplexed radios are VIN coded to the BSI unit, as long as the radio stays fitted to the same car it will never ask for a code.
Now, if you fit it in another Peugeot / Citroen it will then go beeping mental until its re coded with Planet / Lexia
One of the reasons multiplexed radios are pretty much worthless & why nobody botheres to steal them.

I know for a fact that the oil and filter were changed since ive owned the car and oil level is fine. Just another electrical fault??

Correct Peugeot / Citroen OR Purflux oil filter fitted?
There are known issues with cheap filters that dont fit the plastic housing correctly & causes a loss of oil pressure.
You shouldnt be running the engine if the oil pressure warning light is flashing until you are sure you have good oil pressure.
Very rare the oil pressure switch fails.
First port of call is check the oil filter

Drove to work this morning with the windscreen wiper on constant unable to turn them off, then the headlights came on. Could not put the water squirters on to stop the horrendous screetching noise that the wipers were making either. Then got to work and couldnt lock my car or turn the lights off. Becoming a bit of a daily occurance.

Really needs scanning with Peugeot Planet OR just chuck a new com on it & it should fix it.
