Ecu refurb or Mark Adams unit?

[tweety]

My ecu is faulty and I need it sorted soon before the loan unit I have at the mo is required back by its owner....
I was going to use BBA Reman but just wondered if there were any other recomendations?
The other option is a Mark Adams ecu, is it worth the extra expense?
All advice greatly appreciated....

Cheers, Al.

You could try re-soldering it yourself.

It usually takes about an hour to do the job, and your outlay would be a decent soldering iron and a reel of leaded multicore solder.

This one off the flea is £15 and the solder should be a few quid so less than £20 total.

In terms of static precautions just lay out the iron and ECU on a bit sheet of aluminium foil and touch the foil before handling anything. But the ECU is pretty robust.

Thanks Adam, yes I have it apart at work right now and my mate is an avionics engineer so he's going to look at it this evening. I can't see anything loose or obvious but having just been given a lesson on what dry solder joints are that's no surprise. Hopefully we'll get it done later when work is a bit quieter. Took the wedge to a local classic show today and with the loan standard 3.5 ecu installed it felt good and still popped and banged so not sure the 390se is actually any different.

I think I have a 390se ecu in my garage. I can dig it out if you are interested?
