Default Reccomended Repairers for L8 ecu

Hi folks does anyone know of places they can reccomend to repair a L8 ecu, the long and short of it is the ecu has failed causing the car to run on 2 cylinders no pulse to the other 2 at all. Tried another chip to rule the chip out and its exact, The car runs fine on my spare L6 but i need that for something else

Much appreciated in advance

is it 2 injector channels that are not working or 2 coil channels (you may have the wasted spark board)

mine had a faulty driver transistor on one injector channel which was easily repaired its a BDX53C iirc - prob get them on ebay. that said, its unusual for 2 channels to fail at the same time as they each have thier own transistor. might have resulted from a harness short. was it working on your car or did you get it in faulty condition?
