My 96 111 needed a new ECU in 2001 because the idle speed kept sailing sky high. At the time, the Rover mechanic said it was a common fault, and that later ECUs (on 211s I think) had the problem part as an external, separate part rather than integrated within the ECU.
Anyway, around the same mileage has passed again (40k) and recently the idle speed hasn't been below 2000 RPM according to the tacho.
Really can't afford a new ECU and coding again (it was about £300 the last time), so is there anything else it might be? Am I right in thinking if I get a secondhand ECU I'll need a matching 5AS alarm unit and get my fobs re-programmed?
Cheers...
