What sort of costs are involved in this?
My auto elec reckons £500 for an ECU (I can't remember the name of the one he recomended) and about 3 hours + materials to wire it. (its basic inside, no lights etc)
On a peugeot, its the body computer.
(I've been dealing with the main dealers for weeks, I just had to fork out £££ to get one on a 206 that had been destroyed by mice, don't ask!)
I'm lol'ing at everyone saying it sounds dodgy.
When I sell a car, I take a £xxx deposit and agree a date for the customer to collect.

Jag S type, BMW E46 3 series, E39 5 series plus a load of others have the battery in the boot and a charge/jumpstart point in the engine bay.
It will be a piece of piss to go to a scrapper and get one out, should cost pence too.
I must have tried about 15-20 different cleaners over the years and to this day, halfords own brand (blue trigger bottle) upholstery cleaner is the best i've come accross.
