Many thanks for posting your thread. Could have been a very costly mistake!
Never assume because the water is below the ECU, that it has never got to the ECU. Under heavy rainfall a restricted drain might well allow it to rise much higher. If in any doubt, check the ECU itself for signs of water.

The priority job on any 75 is to check those drains as soon as you get it.

Fix a poor handbrake; DIY ABS diagnostic unit; Loan of the spanner needed to change the CDT belts; free OBD diagnostics +MAF; Correct Bosch MAF cheap; DVB-T install in an ex-hi-line system; DD install with a HK amp; FBH servicing.

I've taken a vow of poverty. To annoy me, send money.
