P8's are bloody unreliable, 9 out of 10 ecu's we get that are dead or faulty are P8's.

No, Sorry.
The place we use are both unable to test them. We test via substitution, we have a known good unit, and no, its NEVER for sale. lol

the iscv had been iffy for a week before chipped and i just thought id had got damp,

so cleaned out and it went away for 2 minutes then started again, it had been left to dry so should be fine

todayi put my mates P8 ecu in with my chip and everything fine,

dont think that kenny has done anything to it at all really dave,

luckily i have got a new one on its way and going to get the old one repaired to keep as a spare
