Looking at this though I can only assume the guy who originally designed and placed such an important/costly/vital piece of electrics in such an external area prone to water ingress was given a career change! So the first thing I'll do is dry it out thoroughly (maybe swishing some isopropanol alcohol to thanks T-Cut), then try it I guess. If it still doesn't work send it off to the Doc. I just hope it hasn't shorted out any other components. I'll keep y'all posted as to my success and hopefully you'll be seeing my X-reg in a town near you soon!

James, if you need a new, uncoded ecu feel free to pm me...and it won't cost £1000! Or even £125!

What's the white box in the housing containg the ECU?
Right, I've stripped out the ECU board & it looks fine actually ( I had to clean up a couple of legs on a chip that's all) & my gut feeling suggests it might just be OK. However I believe I've found the problem. I noticed another box white in colour, in the same black plastic box which houses the ECU. This was full of water and upon opening it I find that it is pretty corroded & I strongly suspect is useless. What is this/what does it do? Where can I get another? I've attached pix of this & hope they are clear.

Because of ECU suspected flooding (Plenum / water problem) I've stripped out the ECU board & it looks fine actually (I had to clean up a couple of legs on a chip that's all) & my gut feeling suggests it might just be OK. However I believe I've found the problem. I noticed another box white in colour, in the same black plastic box which houses the ECU.

Most of that will clean on circuit board and the Dry Joints will need resoldering.

Don't laugh, but I've used a toothbrush and toothpaste to clean PCB's before, and with good results.
Wash in clean running water and pat dry, leave somewhere warm for a few hours to finnish.....
