Any help please!
My landrover defender puma 2.4 2009 model recently started momentarily loosing power or surging, particularly on long up hill climbs at around 100km/hr. I have established that it is not the fuel pump (if it was then it would do it all the time and I would have not done about 5000kms with this surging). I have had the ECU scanned for faults on many occasions and it normally comes up with no errors. However it has once had an error saying there is a short in the ECU and when it was cleared it came back straight away, it has since gone away and there has never been any engine or warning lights on the dash. Sometimes the vehicle goes 20kms before surging again. I am at the conclusion that there is a problem with the ECU and am trying to get it replaced with a second hand ECU. Does anyone know if the ECU can be changed without changing the instrument cluster?
Thanks
