Engine Management light on solid and running lumpy

Bumped up a kerb yesterday morning (It was dark!!) and the EM light came on. Since then it feels as though its missing on 1 or more cylinders, very lumpy under acceleration and rough idle. I have used MRC in the past but they are a long way away from me here in Essex, can someone recommend a local person to me who is good? Don't want to use Main Stealers!
Thanks
PS 2007 B7 RS4 34,000 miles, I have the stage 2 MRC tune.

If it happened after the bump I'd say check all the leads, plugs ect are on tight, also check the coilpacks are pushed on properly. Next step is to run it on the laptop and look for a fault code.

As said above you really need to get the car scanned for the error code or you're just pis*ing in the wind really.
Where in Essex are you?

I'm also in Essex but Southend way, if you was local I'd come and give the car a scan for you.
Hopefully someone else on the forum can help you out.

Spoke to EMP Performance in St Albans, they were recommended by a mate, would it be ok to drive it the 30 miles there?
