An update on the gearbox fault. I took the car to Citroen Birmingham and they diagnosed a problem with the "electro pump". It had ceased and was blowing the fusebox. The hose pipe connected to the pump had bursted too. The irony is that my independent warranty company (Click4Warranty) 5-star, does not cover that part - very upset.

Handbrake does not release, when pressing the brake pedal and release switch on dasboard (though it releases when given gas). Seems to be happening more and more
This could be due to low battery voltage, a loose or damaged wiring harness, or a fault with the gearbox ECU. I would not have thought it was the actuator itself, unless the system has some sort of monitoring circuit. Some things you could possibly check yourself, but others I would entrust to a mechanic who had access to the right equipment.
Citroen C4 Grand Picasso garage worked on the car but could not fix the fault referred me to local citroen dealer. only charged me for one and a half hours work and the diagnostic. Kilgannon Motors Ltd
To diagnose the P1728 code, it typically requires 1.0 hour of labor. The specific diagnosis time and labor rates at auto repair shops can differ based on factors such as the location, make and model of the vehicle, and even the engine type. It is common for most auto repair shops to charge between $75 and $150 per hour.

It's 11 years old so I have no idea how old the battery as I only bought it a year ago. I had a Gearbox Fault today. That was a new one. Came on with the ignition, switched ignition off and on and the fault cleared. On the subject of batteries. How the hell do you get it out? (1.6 HDi)
I filled all the tires but the fault recurred. Second time - they took the car into a non-Citroen garage who checked it out and changed the gearbox oil and declared victory - alas prematurely - fault occurred exactly as before. Third time - Citroen dealer had a look, couldn't see anything wrong, updated the software and sent it back.
