Got the right oil put some in then drove it and the anti pollution light came on and when I stopped the car and turned the car off the fan carried on going for about 2min

Have you put the oil cap back on correctly as this will cause the diagnostic light to come on as the engine runs in a negative pressure an incorrectly fitted oil cap causes an airleak which is sensed by the pressure sensor it may need the fault code clearing once you fit the oil filler cap correctly i have seen this fault a few times now

Did not over fill it
Took it out for a long drive last night and it runs like new
It only comes up when I 1st start the car but engin management light stays on all the time
Does it just need resetting ???

Did you overfill it? How did you check the level? If you have overfilled it then I'd drain the oil out and refill to the correct level. (I'd change the oil and oil filter if it is more than 12 months old.)
