Just my 2p's worth .. a second hand unit may well be about to fail in exactly the same manner as your old one ... there is no way of knowing .. for that reason I had mine (on the old 2.5 ) repaired ... no need to worry about configuration as it is "your" ECU .. and it came with a 2 year warranty .... £130 then don't know how much now...

Worth a thought ?

Depends on budget imo.Second hand is a gamble,but £100 cheaper than a repair,so if someone is running the car on a tight budget (as many are these days) they may consider second hand more viable for them.

I may be wrong, but.....

I believe that provided the part numbers are identical, then it would fit any version using that part. Example is I bought a second hand one from DLK that came from a 3.0ltr, fitted it to my 2.5ltr, then TB programmed it for my 2.5ltr and its perfect

That's the nub .. if it is NOT from the same engine/transmission/body type (?) then it needs re-configuring via tech2 .. and not everyone is close to a tech2 ..

so same config or repair to get around the config issue

I have known them to destroy an ECU, so clearly they don't always test them after.
