Does anyone know were i can get a 2nd hand transfer box ecu for a p38 diesel manual. Dont want to have to hand over £160 to the local range dealer for a new one if i can help it. Ebay usually has around a dozen available but all for petrol autos. Any advice welcome.

Are you sure that the ECU is different between petrol and diesel? Or for that matter between auto and manual. I know that the Hi/Lo range selection is off the gear lever on an auto and a button on the manual but surely that is just a wiring difference Functionally they are all the same I think.

i had the same problem a few months back with a DSE Auto, you need to check the barcode on box to the new one. try PartFinder.ie - Car Dismantlers, Car Breakers search for Ireland. but buying in ireland will prob be expensive no harm in sending a few emails.

generally ebay is good. try emailing a few guys breaking a DSE manual.
