I drove my valver into work this morning, as normal, without issue. It's been sitting outside work until this afternoon when I decided i wanted to go up the shop to get some pick n mix to see me through the rest of the afternoon. I tried starting it, but no joy. It turned over fine, but just wasn't starting.
I called the AA out, and after testing it and trying a new coil pack on it, he said it was likely to be the ECU thats had it, as there was no spark, and everything else checked out fine.
Now my initial reaction was to scream like a 6 year old girl and curse my luck, but when I'd calmed down, i tried to think logically. So here goes with the questions...
1. Has anyone else suffered this fate, and can confirm what the AA man said, which was basically that my car had had a good innings, but all good things must come to an end?
2. If was to remove the ECU, is there anywhere I could take it to be tested?
3. If the ECU is indeed knackered, what will replacing it involve, and how much is it likely to cost me?
Your help is greatly appreciated.
