need a car for work and my own business so i will have to buy something cheap to keep me going, so not sure when i will get on with it. but if i have any progress i will let you know. my mate looked at one exactly the same about 6 months ago, unfortunately the owner couldnt afford for him to spend much time on it. so he never got to the bottom of it. i think the ecu is located under the battery, theres been some really deep water up here in yorkshire so im thinking maybe water has got in. also my mate said the wiring rubs where it goes into the housing that holds the ecu. might be worth looking there. good luck
