All, Need to fit a used BCM to 1999 D2, I understand it'll need to be sync'd to the vehicle, does anyone have a recommendation for someone in the Southampton/south Hants area who could do it? From what I've heard and read if I'm not careful I could end up paying for a garage to learn/guess how to do it!

Be patient utill you find somebody who knows what he's doing with the proper tester cos you might end up with it immobilised then you can bin it... here's the most complete locator https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewe...l=en&oe=UTF8&msa=0&ll=4.370151119207935,0&z=2 , scroll it up and you'll see but you'll have to register to the D2boysclub to be able to PM one of them

Immobilised BCU's don't need to be binned.

We can unlock , repair & do whatever with them.

It was more of a methaphorical expression, i know they can be unlocked with "invasive" methods but too few places where this procedure is carried out as the BCU to be 100% restored and the cost of the intervention combined with postage might be the same or higher as a for second hand one that's why i was so radical to warn the OP. to be carefull cos immobilising it means extra money anyway

There are no " Invasive" methods. They're done on a production line & no difference to a new BCU module.
Discovery 3 BCM's are a tad more difficult.

You're correct in that it's all extra money,
