Posted this in the other thread but yes. The parcel was delivered at 11am on Tuesday. I rang up 11am on Friday as I hadnt heard anything and they hadn't even opened the box. They did however get to it straight away and called me back in 30 minutes. In that 30 minutes that had tested it and fixed it. There was a dry solder joint on the EEPROM chip which is obviously the main chip so that was causing all the problems. They re-soldered it and was working fine. They said it was a free fix because it only took 30 minutes and I would only have to pay the courier fee. I asked for Saturday delivery and it arrived by lunch time. Fitted to the car and started first time! No more problems!
I sent the ecu back with part of the case missing too and it came but with all new bolts and new case parts. Still had my original map on so I presume its the same ECU. Could easily be a replacement one though!
Very annoying it was something that wasnt my fault. Felt so sure that my wiring was suspect but after redoing it all I couldnt find anything wrong.
