    hi joey, yes, it is a land rover ecu (my mechanic ONLY works on land rovers) he was going to swap one out - and he does have the laptop based test book computer. Also gets some of his programs and tech info from Cypress or Crete--or something like that- does this make sense?

I put an after market tow...
