[grinder]

hiya chaps

feeling a lot better about the car at the mo - im hoping that the ecu swap should fix it

i will keep you all posted - she may live to fight another day at this rate

:2eek FIX THE LEAK - otherwise you are going to toast another ECU Stu !:2eek

[grinder]

Prof : pics for you

[grinder]

its hard to find a leak when the cab now sits under a nice dry car port

all the floor looks ok - its just around the ECU and Kick Plate for it

im gonna clean it all out when i get chance - so will try and find out where its been coming from

Stu

[sadgoth]

see, maybe you were premature to start throwing you toys out of the cot eh Stu?

[Prof]

Nice one - that looks like it would lift right out and go into another ECU

I can unsolder the chip out of one of mine and put a turned pin socket in it, then I can swap you the chipless ECU for your old one minus the chip - just put the chip in the ECU and away you go.  You pay postage on both units and I still get an ECU to play with !

Could do this over the weekend if your interested.

[grinder]

sounds like a plan prof ... OR ......

do you want me to ship my ECU to you - you can take a copy of the chip - then stick the chip in the other ECu and send it back to me ?

can you copy chips

hows that

Stu

[Prof]

Yep that would work to, although copying chips is illegal and should not be attempted by untrained...... blah blah.:spank

I will make a \'backup\' copy of the chip in case your one is faulty. :Typing

So send away...

[grinder]

sounds like a plan - will get it in the post tomorrow

just need you to PM your addy now

i will pay the postage on the way to you - once you send back let me know the price and i will transfer you the money ( and what i owe for the light cover )

oohhhh you could send the light cover and ecu at the same time - saves hassle in the future

does the ECU need insuring to some stupid amount when posting ?

Stu

[kev-yorks]

That could be a plan Stu damaged in the post!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Prof]

He He - the one I got from Japan was just in a cardboard box about 1mm bigger than the ECU !

And the bloody thing worked first off !

Those ECU cases are pretty tough as it goes.

But good idea about the light cover - would save you a tad on postage too !

PS What happend to the option of putting your own words in a link?

I found an easy way of doing this - type your words in the thread, then select the words you want to hide a link behind and then hit the link button - then just cut and paste your link in !

[grinder]

but the first link - still seems have have different numbers then mine ?!?!

im just really hoping that prof is right and its a case of swapping chips - it could be really expensive if it doesnt work
