I saw another on eBay who repairs them for £195 but they want to see the car. Which is pretty set on not moving at the moment.

I have followed practically every thread for this issue and nothing has cured the issue. The kit cost me £95 which is considerably less than the other solutions I have considered.

Unless someone knows another cost effective method that guarantees a working ECU?
Well the eBay seller who repairs them for £195, I'll let you hazard a guess where they get them from, also Rimmer Bros where a replacement costs upward of £400, where do you think they come from too

Anyway, Big Russ can sort you out a plug and play replacement in the post, as can others who shall remain nameless

Me personally, I've got about eighty working diesel ECM sitting gathering dust, and I tipped another forty today.
