not 100% but its off a 4x4,not a late one as they have green labels on, well the unleaded versions.

think it is.

have a look inside to see if it has a Pectel board in it.

Stu - care to comment on the "L3H.34" software reference in this instance? AFAIK UK ones are generally L3E.31.. is this possibly a non-UK variant? or were there variations within the red-top versions?

Looking at the advert from where pic is taken the other pic it also doesn't have the lugs for 2wd fitment so I'd say its a 4x4 unit as well...
