CYOA
Turns out some cables (HT number 3) had burned through after not being clipped in properly. One had gone through the heat shield and shorted. He tied it further away from the exhaust and wrapped the offending area in electrical tape. Car started and I managed to get back home without any more lights but it still felt underpowered and juddered a bit on hills even at 50-60. I'm hoping it's nothing more drastic than new cables or at worst a sensor as I could really do without a surprise multi-thousand pound bill at the moment. I've parked in front of my local garage and will give them a call. Or I could go to a Skoda dealership which isn't too far away (15 min drive instead of 5 min walk).
