Panda is from the registration number, please? FV07 OCX?
It is Mums replacement car (she was side swiped by a lady who didn't know her accelerator from her brake! Took out Mum at 28mph and at 82 having survived 2 bouts of cancer and being flung across the road by a motorbike rider. JUST about enough for an 82 year old lady to put up with in 18 months?) So she bought this from a local seller and very shortly after starts giving problems. Limp mode? Jumping around like running out of petrol?? Mechanic THINKS IT is the ECU? But of course I need to know what her car is. And hence the question in the opening sentence. I had a look at eBay, but of course they are pretty specific!! But one thing that really threw me was the units that set there own codes??? Expensive but jhow do they work then??
My problem is , I was a Ford Mechanic myself but started in 1972!! And then qualified and joined the Royal Navy in 75! So ECU's were science fiction then! Thanking you in anticipation.
