EXCUSE ALL CAPS, GENUINE REASON FOR USE.

HI,

AS I LIVE IN IRELAND I SUPPOSE ANY INFO ON SUPPLIERS OR REPAIRERS SHOULD COME FROM NEIGHBOURS HERE, HOWEVER, I'LL TAKE ADVICE FROM WHEREVER I CAN GET IT, I'M DESPERATE AT THIS STAGE!:)

THE ECU IN MY 1995 C200, W202, ELEGANCE, 90K GENUINE, WELL LOVED MILES WAS FRIED, ALONG WITH THE ALTERNATOR WHEN MY SON USED A POWER BOOSTER ACROSS BATTERY. :Oops: :shock: (I DESCRIBED THE EVENTS IN AN EARLIER POST)

QUESTION NOW IS, REPAIR OR REPLACE THE ECU?

IF REPAIR, ANYONE SUGGEST WHO TO TRY IN IRELAND, OR EVEN BYPOST TO ELSWHERE, AND BALL PARK, APPROX COST?

IF REPLACE, I IMAGINBE I SHOULD AVOID THE STEALERSHIPS, SO AGAIN, WHO'S GOOD FOR RECONDITIONED ONES, NEW ONES, OR WOULD ONE FROM A BREAKERS BE OK, PROVIDED IT HAS CORRECT NUMBERS ETC? BALLPARK COST?

IT'S A NUMBER OF WEEKS NOW, AND I HAVE MOBILITY PROBLEMS SO I NEED TO GET THE CAR GOING OR EVEN TRY TO SELL IT ON AND GET SOMETHING TO GET AROUND IN.

PLEASE, ANY HELP WILL BE MUCH APPRECIATED. LOCATED IN MIDLANDS SO SOURCE LOCATION COULD BE N,S,E,W!!

THANKS GUYS.

Try the dealer, take you full VIN, you might be pleasantly surprised as Merc are now supplying factory reconditioned ECU's.

Hi,

Thank You David And Alan.

I Will Get A Haircut, Shave, And Shower, (even Though I Had One 2 Years Ago), Borrow A Suit And Crawl On Bended Knee To My Nearest Stealership And Enquire.

Might Get A Friend To Video The Event To Leave To My Family!

Cheers Guys,

Patrick
