As the Forum knows I replaced the ECU the ALARM BOX and the Relay box on my "F" Before trying it out,I found another fault with the wiring once this was rectified ,the car started firs turn Now it nay be ,that the ECU wasnt the real problem but Im not going to switch it back .So if anyone want my original ECU ALARM BOX and RELAY UNIT they are welcome to it for just the cost of posting it say £5 Its for a 1999 MG F Len

Morning when I was looking for a replacement ECU I looked for ages,to find one which matched the wiring on mine When I saw a breaker advertising the one I wanted I contacted him He said it was the early version of the ECUs fitted to the early MGFs and they were very rare . He didnt say ,they were interchangeable ,but I thought it best to get a matching one .Which paid off .I can now find cosmetic work to do when I feel like it .The body is excellent and the engine registers only 63000 which checking past MOTs seems to be correct Len

You can see on the photo of my old lock,thee extra wires

Thanks to everyone in the Forum who gave me their advice It was very much appreciated Len

Thanks its a good job I looked around to see a matching pair for mine I have finally got the car running,by matching the fob up Len

Thanks for quick reply I appreciate what you say,but when ign turned on the alarm goes off and can`t turn engine over.So the EPS light doesn`t have chance to go out Ive done so much on the car ,to correct things its quite disheartening still to be "carless" Len

Morning ,I managed to find two door locks for my MG F and I noticed,when looking around for a pair,mine were different to most for sale When I finally saw a matching pair,I was told they were for an early "F" its noticable ,that the wiring is different. Does anyone know as a matter of interest if the later locks would have been OK, or are they matched to the ECU .I`ll start to fit the locks later today and keep the progress posted
I`ve fitted the locks and though they now give a nice clean click on and off.rather than the old ones which gave a chattering sound ,the alarm is still on.When the ignition is turned on ,then the alarm goes off the the top 3rd light up from the alarm light is on Any help very much welcomed
Photo is to show the difference in the early lock and the lights
