Obviously you have to get another but how does this work? What i mean is will any old ECU for the same engine work or what?

No funny answers just i have no idea.

I'd check ident numbers on the ECU's to get the same one. Would have thought there will be some variances in them (ie if the car has ABS, Powersteering, AC, RCL etc etc).

Pretty sure you can use any ECU as they are pretty old engines. If not you could probably get an aftermarket ECU?

On an LET you'll need the transponder bits aswell.

My mate didn't get these and had to pay £200 to get in uncoded.
