My immediate thought is electrical. Was it a 'serious speedhump'?
Check the plugs into the ecu in the engine compartment.
Also worth checking all the fuses under the steering wheel and under the bonnet are Ok and sitting properly.

Could you have flooded it with fuel?

Even if it had flooded it would have dried out by now as this happened Monday night but today was first chance to look at it.

Basic's wish it was the day's of points resetting with a fag packet and a hacksaw blade for spark plugs when you were stuck at the side of the road with no tools lol.
