Massive thank you Trikey
Yesterday I had the misfortune of my ecu blowing due to water in the plenum , it was only cleaned out four weeks ago so I wasn't expecting it
Anyway I rang Andy for some advice by the roadside and he gave me some pointers but I had to have the car recovered by the AA and when I got home I rang Andy again to say it was definitely the ecu and he came straight over with a fresh ecu and his T4 gear Unfortunately this ECU didn't work and he came out today again whilst I was at work and sorted the car Cheers Andy, I can't thank you enough |

Thanks for the comments guys, glad to be of assistance, it did have me stumped for a bit when the first replacement ecu wouldn't play ball, its always good to pop up and see Russ' collection of MGR stuff and when you pull on his driveway to be greeted by a pair of National petrol pumps it transports you back to another time

My V6 ecu was drowned in October by a flooded plenum. The AA assured me that it was probably beyond saving, citing spidery internal shorts after drying out. However, I allowed it to dry very slowly using a dehumidifier, and all has been absolutely perfect ever since. I was given excellent advice from the forum, and Marinabrian very kindly offered to come and replace the ecu for me at very short notice, as the car would not start. Then it did, but I will certainly contact him if the problem recurs.
Apparently, the V6 ecu's are waterproof, but mine most certainly was not. It's great to know that people are there when you really need them! Many, many thanks to Marinabrian and Bororover, for offering me immediate help, even though the crisis unexpectedly resolved by itself! |
