ECU problem, again, oh and a small electrical fire

Just wondering if anyone could shed any light on this? (2000 td5 90)

other month ecu played up and long story short injecter harness was changed, with a couple of other bits done.
Today while driving, ecu light came on again but this time lost acceleration (no electricity to pedal!). Had a fiddle and turns out when i dip clutch light comes on and no power to acc. pedal. Played with fuses for a bit and got it working. Half hour later while driving engine cut out, then a small electrical fire started. Its now back in garage again!!

Please, any ideas?!

:wtf:

under the drivers seat is the ecu, check it for oil damage the oil will travel all the way down the loom into the ecu its a very come fault with them

Where was the fire? Knowing this would help identify the fault.

Bear with me, im terrible with electrics! Some of the wires behind the brake fluid tank that look like they go into back of dash...

rip it out a fit a 300tdi and then you can throw away that stupid ECU rovers biggest mistake was fitting a ECu to a offroad vehicle i love the TD5 units shame about head gasket and ecu problems...
