Default Anyone in East London with VCDS?

This is not for me, it's for my son who lives near Shoreditch/Bethnal Green.
He has a 4.2 S4 Avant, I think it's a 56-plate so is presumably a B7.

Basically the EPC light is coming on, he says intermittently especially when it's wet.
For him, due to working hours, it's a PITA to get to a dealer to have the codes read so that he knows how bad/urgent it is.
Is there anyone in that area East of the City that could do a private job (for a fair fee) evenings or weekends to tell him what's being reported?
(He's within a stones throw of Brick Lane and Bethnal Green Road.)
