Take it into maplins get another diode and solder it in job done cheap as or buy another as it would prob be cheaper than having yours repaired by a specialist.

Buy another one. Cheap as chips L6's.

The question is, what caused it to overheat?

Otherwise you have MSD, there aren't many people who repair ECU's I shouldn't think, even less who want to touch the old Weber's.
