also check to make sure that the correct amp fuse is in place for the ecu
has been jump started a few times. but not for a while. worked for ages after last jump start.
Fuses all ok. I am guessing it has the right fuse. had car from new and i have never changed any of them.
The D9's are infamous for weak electrics and apparently jump starting is a big no-no. James has mentioned this in a past thread but it was quite a while ago.

Disconnecting them can be just as dodgy, if you must leave them connected for a full 3 minutes. The recommendation seems to be throw your jump leads away & never have anything to do with them again.
