As Simon says, you post the ECU off to them, they don't need the whole car.
Thanks Greeners. Long story, but AA man initially took me & car to their approved Nationwide depot 10PM at night! Turned out next day that they didn't employ an auto electrician. So I blagged them to take it to SMC High Wycombe which they eventually did. So I can't really expect them now to bring it all the way back to me at home! Also I can't start getting SMC to post off the ECU to a third party really...! No, now I know what I have learned through this Forum I really just want to get the car back home & then go through the process of sending it off etc and hoping it can be repaired.
Another thing though, the guy at SMC said even if they were to replace the ECU it could be that the water/soaking has taken out other electrics also (he mentioned injectors and other things) which sounded like an open cheque-book to me; but perhaps they just wanted me to take their preferred option of trading it in against one on their forecourt though!:lol:
