jeebowhite Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 Consider your local scrappy, although the car is "too new" to end up there you do get the odd few that are written off for something or other. I cant remember if the ECU is specific to the engine, or if its a general ECU, even then I think if you were to get one second hand, maybe Ford could re-program it for less?

gringo156 Posted March 14, 2011 Author Share Posted March 14, 2011 just found one but i think guy is taking the biscut a bit 240 pound not far of what ford are charging for a new one but cause i havent got my old unit ford want an extra 75 pound i dont no seems a lot of hassle for such a small part lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeebowhite Posted March 14, 2011 Share Posted March 14, 2011 hmmm, I dont know why they want the extra £75 but I would get in writing the reason why. as for the cost, you may as well buy it from Ford, for a brand new and guaranteed part! The problem is its a small part, but its the entire brain of the computer, and brain surgery is a very expensive procedure!! unfortunately that might be the cheapest you get!
