Only time will tell.

I have literally just paid for a replacement ECU for my year 2000 Defender which I hope will encourage the engine to play ball again. My engine is the early iteration but the replacement is a NNN unit that is supposed to be a better option than the original. I am having a stage 1 map which I am...

Good information. I am currently looking at a replacement ECU for my year 2000 Td5 which has recently decided it no longer wants to travel. I have found two companies who have replacements but their prices are quite different which makes me wonder whether one is significantly better than the...

Did you get your problem solved?
