This weekend wasn't a good time for my car Sad

It's not exactly been watertight and a few times the passenger side rear footwell has been quite damp. Unfortunately that's where the ECU is! Not a good bit of design.

On Saturday night I had to drive through a massive puddle. While I was about halfway through it some nutjob in a Range Rover came charging round the corner and I had to get out of his way pretty quickly. Because he didn't slow down he created a wave that covered the car and most of it came inside! The car cut out about 1 minute later and wouldn't start. When I investigated the ECU was in a 2" deep puddle Sad It's dead as a dead thing.

Stuck it on ebay.
Kinda sad to see it go - but needs must and all that.
