I would like to put the ECU at a higher so dryer place.
Will disconecting the ECU from the cables give problems to the ECU or faultcodes?

Is there a procedure to follow?

Thanks

You should not have any issues as long as you disconnect the battery first and wait for about a minute before disconnecting the ECU. Mine has been in an out of the car half a dozen times now.

Don't forget to check your radio code before disconnecting!

I know Devon 4x4 do an extention: http://www.devon4x4.com/products_a/p1755c2...nsion.html

As above, all you need to do is disconect the battery for a little while first.

Thanks guys,

First I want to see how high I can get it in the Cubby box/ bulkhead direction.
I don't know yet how I will want to have my roof yet. It's now a sheep farmer's pick-up with the Ifor Williams canopy on the back. I kind off like that as you don't see them this way in The Netherlands.
On the otherside a hard top with windows is more practical but that is the standard here.
I would like to drive it as a softtop in the summer but not in the winter.
So I would like to have the ECU as high as possible but I don't know how high yet.

Found this on the PPcages website - looks like they did a pretty good job when they moved the ecu:

That's were I wanted to mount it too. The 90's color is correct too. I just don't like the seat holders.

The one advantage of mounting it there is that there is little chance of the oil seeping down the loom getting into the ecu - it will probably just leave a puddle on the seatbox instead!

I intend moving mine to the same spot when I finally get rid of the centre seat.

You can fit it there with the standard wireloom, you just need to extent the cables to the transfer box for the High/low sensor and the difflock sensor.
That project is almost finished just need a new ECU as mine has had swimming lessons and clearly didn't make it.

cubby box or similar height gets my vote, if its in the roof and you go over - its at lowest point then!
