Citreon c3 2003 1.4 diesel - Citreon c3 2003 1.4 diesel ODb2 ??? - swaps

Hi all,
I have a problem with starting on the above C3. The ECU get errors and then it very hard to start. The garage clears the faults via the ODB2 port and the car starts perfect again. I stays right for between a couple of week and 3 months then stops starting well. Im being charges £10 every time this happens so I wan to save some money and buy one the the gadgets on ebay and reset this myself. now when you look on the internet is says ODB2 started in 2004 models (diesel) on the C3 but im assuming as the garage use this port mine mustr be ODB2 ? the second think is do I need protocal U480 ? U380? or something different ?
I have wasted £600 on this having it checked glow plugs changed, diognostics and generl prating about to cure the problem and it remains. so I really just want to be able to reset this myself as and when needed.

Thanks Alan
