ECU leather wallet
Discussion
Having recently picked up my new car it came with my 3rd brand new glass ECU which I am determined not to break this time around!
I have unfortunatly dropped and chipped both of the previous ones
On both occasions it was as a result of me holding it at the wrong angle and the ECU slipping out of the leather wallet and onto a hard floor below - so I didnt technically drop it, but the result was the same.
I seem to recall somebody here posting an alternative wallet which had a clip over top which I think will remove the problem I seem to have had with them. Can anybody remember this and post a link of where to buy one please?
I am currently using the spare but would like to find this alternative wallet so I can safely resume using the glass ECU.
Many thanks

Try this one - http://www.hwmastonmartin.co.uk/parts/aston-martin...
Ah Ha!!! That is the badboy!! Cheers George.Its a little more pricey than I had hoped but considering the ECU is still around £500 I guess its a relatively good investment.
One question - do you know if that is a HWM special item or is that the new standard wallet as sold by all AM dealerships??

That's the one I have had for 3-4 months - works well.Shrek667 said:
I believe it's a standard AM item. I bought mine from Stratstones at Hagley.
Hmm, interesting... Would you mind telling me how much you paid? Interstingly the AM V12V price list I have shows the optional leather wallet as being £47.50 so I had assumed this was probably the old style. This new item appears to be £63 at HMW 
I know I might sound like Im being tight but I am a Yorkshireman after all and we are famed for our almost Scottish attitude to spending money!

You mean you didn't get JCT to give you one free!
lol no - but I did get to keep the 2 old style ones I already had as apparently you don't get one free now with new cars, but given how rubbish the old style is I didn't realy care when told that. I guess in fairness at the time I didnt even know this new one was an AM product let alone that JCT might have had stock of it.I did get a complimentary bottle of Bollinger which I was pretty pleased with, as previously it has always been flowers. A bottle of bubbly is somewhat more up my street!
So mikey - how is your V12V interest progressing? Did you get to meet up with somebody up your neck of the woods to answer your mystery questions?
