Gojyo's brain is broken.

As well as a new battery (and indicator & headlamp bulb), his ECU is faulty - hence it lighting the EMS light for catalytic converter problems when there wasn't actully anything wrong with the cat.

A new ECU has to be ordered in. A new ECU costs £760, plus half an hour labour.

Holy piles of radiant glowing radioactive horseshit!

That's INSANE.

Is it worth living with the problem? Can you get a second hand ECU?

I could live with the problem, but now it's started to go wrong, it's likely to go wrong in other ways as well - and the next one could be more serious (i.e. more expensive)than thinking the Cat's failed.

Second hand ones don't appear to be worth the risk; not much cheaper and still have the risk of being near the end of their life. Plus, rate as hens' teeth.

Serves me right for having a fancy sports car!
