best way to move a TD5 ECU

[G30RGE]

is there a plug & play 'extension lead' available to allow moving an ecu on a TD5 Defender or is there an easy way to do it?
cheers

Hi,

Yes you can get an extension lead that just plugs in 3 meters long i think from memory.

But and it is a BUT, £300ish?

I had thought of getting one, but at that price  [-X. I have also thought of getting a second ECU programmed to my engine and carrying as a spare insted of moving, could also have one remapped and one not? Just a thought.

I reckon that a good (IP44 rated) waterproof box and loads of silicone sealant would be a cheaper option - much cheaper !!

You would need to run a 'breather' pipe from the box to somewhere, just so the box could vent - but that would only have to be a piece of small-bore plastic hose run out of the back of the seatbox and up the 'B' post.

Looks like a waterproof exercise is in order   :D

Or...  You can mount the ECU on the rear bulkhead without changing the loom.  

If you cut two holes in the top of the seatbox, you can re-route the wiring and resite the ECU on the bulkhead between the driver and passenger seat.

Cost... nothing  ;)

Have a look at the 90 build photos at Devon4x4

But that would be the cheapest route.
