Probably not, but go wearing trousers with a belt and longish coat, and I know ECU's fit nicly between the buttocks and belt

well its a good scrappy they give refunds if they dont work, but i was just wondering if it was worth the fuel to go and get it cos i had no money on me

That's ok if they give refund then. Do you need one? If so I'd give it a try. They must be fairly water proof to stop the damp on a winters evening if the car hasn't been used, and to stop splash back from puddles. I've never understood why they've put them under the bonnet, It's inside the car on my Panda which I think is much better for the damp and waterproofness reason.

Id say they are, as there is the silicone seal you have to break to chip them
wait ... u buying the 899 for a 899 yes ???
I'll got 2 working 899 one here. Does uncoded means u can start the car withour one of those chip keys ??

If you do get the scrapyard one, i'd open it and give it a few days to dry out in the house before using it incase moisture has gotten in. If it has, chances are it wont do any damage until power is applied to it while there is still moisture on the PCB. If power does get to it while moisture is present, you get electrolytic corrosion and shorting
ECU's are water proof except for the pins that can corrode if exposed.
The ones in the engine bay for shure.
the one inside the car on a 1.6 punto isnt when heater matrix goes on them it kills the ecu if the owner hasnt modded a cover for it
