So this afternoon I was chatting with @glenanderson about life and how to manage the hobby we are into.
Had a missed call from the guys at Remanx Automotive. Called them back and was invited down for a chat.
So I went there around 4.30 and Matt and the other guys showed me the ECU which they suggested I was better off replacing with a remanufactured unit than trying to repair mine.
I was met with this little pile of sadness.
And after showing me more and discussing the alternatives, Matt suggested that rather than them try repair what I had in front of me, I consider buying a remanufactured unit online, coded for the specific engine that I have and also with the immobiliser removed as they often cause problems.
One of the guys, Ion who had managed to open the ECU had also taken a bunch of photos for his brag file…. Saying it was not the best he had seen.
So after a really nice chat about life and working for yourself I headed home with the scrap remains of the ECU and ordered a replacement unit online.
£150.00 is adding a chunk of change to the cost of the van but hopefully fixes the irritation of unreliable service.
Delivery will take a few days to about 29 or 30 November after which I can refit parts and hopefully the Caddy will work as it should.
Pictures for those too lazy to read.

Mini Road trip in the morning with mate Kevin “Woodsie” to collect the Green Turtle, newest car to make it to Grizz Towers.
I am really looking forward to driving what was described by @pegasus as a rollerskate or gokart with its 135bhp on a small body.
Not sure if it needs a separate thread of its own.
More tomorrow
