yea story sounded abit suss to me especially as he knew what a mines ecu was and was willing to let it go cheap. But i can see why you took the gamble when these thing retail for 500 plus pound if you can find one. Still you might get it repaired and still be quids in i spose good luck. You will definetly be a happy man if you do these things are great.

you can send them back to mines to be remapped lad why not get in contact get them to fix it and remap it for your spec that you are running it would be a win win situation

im sure it would cost tho...... how much did you pay if you dont mind me asking?

im not sure but i remember reading one of the mods getting it done it could have been jay if i remember im not sure

get in contact with a local source for them they will give you a good idea on how to go about it

a tone is grand lad i would have done the same sure once you have the main parts of it then im sure it will be able to get fixed easy but price im sure will be a bit expensive and might be wort your while getting one secondhand again for the money you will spend ect

i was onto sard before about getting one of their ecus took them a while to respond but they did like i would hold off for mines anyway lad cause the rest mentioned might not do a good job on it

When you try and start the engine, do either of the #10 and #20 injector driver terminals pull to body ground?

Is it a 3 plug ECU?

The map would be ok I'd guess. It is not possible for the map to disappear unless physical damage was done.

Maybe the ECU was left open to UV sunlight or it got water in it. Or somebody was trying to clone it and messed up!
