Hi to all I'm Dave and have a major tale of woe.
My sons c3 HDi 16v wouldn't start the other day so he got relayed home from college and I got to work with my Lexia. Only fault was BSI communication fault to steering column switch so we got another module and plugged in still no joy. Old fella says check 20amp micro fuse.

It sounds like a BSI reset would be a good moved. If you search this site you should find instructions.
And welcome to the site.

Hellloooo
As a tip, when you do it, give the battery a good charge for a few hours (go mow the lawn/have breakfast) and reconnect with a good charge in the battery.

Update
Done bsi reset and no change all warning lights still displayed.
Lexia says
Bsi cannot communicate with instruments panel
Bsi cannot communicate with air con ecu
Have checked all fuses and all are ok. Thinking now that the bsi is goosed

If it is it may be fixable.
When James (HellRazer) spots this he will supply the name and address of a guy who repairs them for a very agreeable price compared to a new one.

Erm, I have never had to have a BSi repaired. Did you mean a different James by any chance, Steve?

No, convinced it was you who had made the recommendation before James.
Wrong again
I blame the Alzheimers*
*Which the spellcheck would have as Altimeters
Anyway, I believe that BBA Reman do them but there is another highly recommended repairer, somewhere in the Leeds/Manchester area.
