Hi Greigmc

These may help....

1) Some background about eco mode

2) Reset the BSI (worth a try)

3) A similar problem (and a solution)

4) The BSI may not be knackered, just corrupted by jump starting or 'incorrectly' installing a new battery. You may be lucky and Citroen are able to take the car out of eco mode with their diagnostic tool.

If the immobiliser software in the BSI is corrupt, you could try re-syncing the key.
