HI & welcome. 8)

I'm guessing you have a 2.0 HDi 110?

Did the lumpy idle & EML light happen at the same time?

If not, favourite culprit is probably a worn engine mounting - try rocking the top of the engine back & forwards without it running, you shouldn't be able to move it noticeably.
2002 HDi 2.2 Exec Estate, (2008-12) (wonderful)
2003 HDi 2.2 6-speed Exec Estate (2012-19) (also a gem)
2009 Citroen C5 2.0 HDi VTR+ Estate (godawful heap)
2008 BMW E91 330i touring (great fun - murdered by a reversing SUV)
2007 BMW E91 325i touring (slower smoother quieter)
