Hi,
My Freelander is a 3 Door 2.0 Diesel L series year 1998.
The engine ECU has been tested several times and found to be faulty. It seems the power supply circuit has been overloaded and refurbishment is required.
The refurbish quote was too high, so I declined it and I´ve bought a USED ECU in ebay, with the CCU and the fob, iot avoid reprogramming of used ECU.
The problem is that now I´m not sure if this works, because after having reading more about the CCU, alarm control Unit and the Fob, I´ve realize that these last two parts could have two different working frequencies, the 315MHz (for the RHD cars - UK) and the 433MHZ (for LHD cars - Europe).
So, the used CCU and fob I´ve bought in ebay work in 315MHZ but my original car is a European version with LHD, so I´m afraid that the CCU and the Fob will not work with my original alarm control unit that should be 433MHZ.
Is there any other used part I should try to buy from e-bay to make sure this will work in my car?
Or, I only have the following options:
1- Try to open the original ECU and do some DIY replacing the power supply with the used ECU.
2- Recoding the used ECU for my car.
Your comments and suggestions are welcome.
Regards
