CEL + DSC lights on, stutters and dies...

Maybe someone has had the same problem (03 Justa here):

Over the weekend, my
  • Check Engine Light
  • DSC lights suddenly came on
  • (DSC light won't turn off using the DSC switch)
  • and the Mini stutters and sometimes dies in idle.
  • Rev needle moving up and down in idle.
  • Pop start and/or key-start right away works.
Had a heck of a time getting it home with 10+ red lights.

I don't have a code reader but I've read it might be a bad MAP sensor. Do you agree? Is this something you can replace yourself?

Our Mini dealer is booked almost 2 weeks out and I'm not sure I'd be able to get the Mini there in the first place...

Any help appreciated.
