http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=270390867650

I did not know you could decode ECU's...... but he also offers a repair service....

Timbo.P6 · 15th May 2009, 12:01

offered him £20 which he wont take, he says he was told by Rover they can be reprogrammed, and hes had a lot of interest in the ecu, so its not an option for us as he probably wants a lot of money for it unfortunately, so back to square one

Load of old cobblers, mail him back and tell him if his sale(s) fall though, you'll still give him £20 for it

not having much luck with local scrap yards only one with a 75 diesel and he wants £50+vat ouch only want two capacitors out of it

I wonder if it may be worth trying a different manufacturers bosch diesel ecu for parts, I know it would be very hit and miss and you wouldn't know whats inside until you opened it up but some of them are not even hitting reserve of a pound on ebay! Failing that, how about giving the ecu doctor a try?

I'll do that.

I have access to capacitors, but these are 'special' unfortunately. They need to have a very good pulse performance.

I'm in negotiation with the manufacturer, but it's going to take a while.

These things will be in other manufacturers ECUs, but only common rail ones.

BMW and Land Rover have versions of the engine. Peugot / Citroen seem to use something similiar. All the ECUs I looked at yesterday were none common rail ones so wouldn't have these in.
