Does it have twin alternators? Could be the switch box for the aux batteries (like a split charge system)

Most likely to be brake light switch Or gear position switch - is it manual or auto?

It needs programming to the car which is why it won’t work currently

Did you get the right pump/sender for the age of your car? As fuel gauge can work in reverse with the incorrect one. Or the float arm maybe getting snagged in the tank

Can’t see clearly where that pipe is from - which part of the engine is it from? check the powers and grounds for the ecm as first port of call. The 5 volt circuits are all separate in the car (not sure on internal to ecu) but a faulty sensor could pull the voltage down and cause the P0642 to...

I would say do some diagnosis using a multimeter and wiring diagram first before condemning ecm when did the fault occur and what has happened to the car prior to the fault?

In the most circuit in order are: Radio faceplate Touchscreen Nav computer Amp Phone DAB (if fitted) Head unit what you need to do is work around the circuit when it’s in a faulting state and isolate which one isn’t working. each module has an in and out for the red light so the light stops...

Yours looks like a Freelander 2 2.2 diesel and the spill return pipes are different to the BMW 2.0 Td4 references above. From memory the spill pipes are relatively cheap from Land Rover

Which modules have you bypassed on the most system? which modules do you have the light at when it’s in a fault state as that narrows it down to which part of the ring is not working

How long does the radio stay lit up for? It should stay illuminated for about 2 minutes until the car shuts down. There were a few technical bulletins on this to update the software in the radio to resolve the issue. I assume everything else electrical on the car is working normally?

What head unit is fitted? 6 presets or 10? What work did garage complete exactly?

Sounds like the cooling fan controller has failed - needs investigating as battery won’t last long with fans running without the engine running

You got a photo of the wheels? May help identify their source

Does it show the symbol gps with a line through it? you can change the country in the sat nav settings - have you updated the maps or anything recently?

Td4 thermostats fail in the open position so you get constant cooling and fuel economy suffers. Temp gauge should be around the middle even in normal driving after approx 5-10 minutes.
