Yes Mike, I was quite surprised to see their 1/2 page advert in Car Mechanics.
I'm a dunce when it comes to sophisticated electronics but their blurb sounded very positive that they can recode second hand ECU's etc. They do mention Rover in the list of cars they can assist with.
They also do an 'airbag controller crash data removal service'
As I suggested, no harm in giving them a ring and asking. Could be a lot cheaper than new !
I would imagine they could also determine whether a drowned ECU can be 'resucitated'. Don't think I could remove the board and dry it out etc.
