Amber Engine Mangement Light :(

Not used the car all week and jumped in it tonight. Turned it on and it sounded pretty rough followed by the engine management light flashing amber then staying on permanently. The car is now driving on 3/4 power (no jokes about it being a 4-pot, ok?) and idling rough.

I've noticed over the past couple of weeks it's sounded a little rough on turning the engine on, so I'm thinking it could be related to the ignition coil or spark plugs - does this sound about right? I've had the ignition coil changed last year when similar happened.
 
It was indeed ignition coils - two had gone! I had one replaced last year so the indy I went to replaced the remaining three yesterday.

He actually told me that the dealer should have changed all of them last year when one went as there was a service bulletin regarding the coil packs. The car is now out of the AUC warranty, but tempted to email the service manager at the dealers and moan at them.

On the plus side, car is running like a dream again :driving:
