Second hand ECU?

Hi,

I was told that my ECU might need replacement and it will cost me a bomb. Also the mech said that I cant use a second hand ecu cuz of the immobilizer. is this true? is there a way around it? i really prefer not to have to pay 300pounds on a 600pound car

Cheers

Thanks

hey guys, i'm new here cuz i just bought a 1996 406 2liter. Same problem with the fuel leakage, and I can see it dripping too.
