I have a 63 plate 1.4 vtr+ diesel which when driving along all of a sudden loses power, service light shows and engine management light comes on then power kicks back in and both lights go off, this only ever seems to happen after using washer jets, heavy rain or snow any ideas what it could be, any help would be much appreciated

You need to diagnose this with a Diagbox/lexia tool. You can read up about installing Diagbox/Lexia in this topic - Lexia and OBD diagnostics on a Citroen C3.
The diagnosis will give you error codes and information on what they mean.
