car not starting , with stop light, oil pressure light on and immobiliser light solid



  clio 172
hi there, I have a clio 172.
my car was running with the symptoms of a lambda sensor ( lumpy idle from exhaust , fuel gauge going up and down , when accelerating nothing and then a sudden burst of power ) but i thought it was one of my injectors so i changed that , started up my car and went for a short run out and loads of lights came up on my dash so i returned back home. turned my engine off and disconnected my battery to try to clear the fault. when i reconnected the battery and tried starting it my stop light , oil pressure light and my immobiliser light came on and wont fire up now. I've tried changing my lambda sensor with no luck still wont start.
does anyone have any ideas? I would be most grateful cheers

Disconnecting the battery does not clear the fault codes. What've you've done here is created a bad connection so remove the battery terminals, clean them up and re-attach them correctly.
