Was it diagnosed by a Citroen specialist/dealer and what error codes did you get?
Also, which ECU, as the C5 has loads of them!

Re: C5 estate - Very scared of hills
ECU's are repairable. Not sure about the Citroen one, but there are specialists who do other makes (I had a Rover 75 one done. It was sent away and returned within a week If I remember correctly. Google it.

Further to my last post, was faulty MAF sensor, put an original part on and the cars back to normal. From a scrap yard £10.00....

Well done, same with my 406, I got mine off ebay too. It started playing up again a little while ago and I noticed there was oil on the sensors, I sprayed them with carburettor cleaner and its been fine since.

When replacing a maf, do you have to disconnect the battery & use a lexia on a Mk1 C5?
