    breaking my beloved s60t should i removethe rica remapped ecu or is it possible even

    hi guys havent been on in a while my cars finally gave in and is going to the breakers yard...for three years i have been the proud owner of this

    http://www.vpcuk.org/forums/showthre...hlight=cragmaz

    the breakers are coming to pick it up tomorrow i got a company car and the suspension needs too much for the mot..is it worth my while taking anything off and selling it privately ie said ecu with rica remap is it possible to just unplug the ecu like it was in old vauxhalls etc...im only getting 160 off the scrappy so if i could sell a few easy to remove spares it would make me feel slightly better..

    There are companies that can clone the map to another ECU for about 100 - 150 quid so worth keeping, even if you only get £50 for it.

    You may need to check the terms and conditions of the Rica map but I don't think they would be happy with the ecu being cloned for another car........thats if it would even work.
