Nothing on ebay at the moment, only 07 model

Anyway, thanks for response, Captain

You want the spare loaded with the map off the other one?

And you want the security codes disabled?

Mike, Clarification.
What I meant to say was that if you got 2 ECU, I being the original & the other being a new suitable & pin compatible spare (as was originally asked for in the 1st post) could you wipe one ecu & copy the map from your other one to it (the spare) Eg have a 04 auto disco ECU. get an 03 pin compatable ECU. Wipe 03 model & upload 04 data. Complete with same injector codes.

I wouldnt really do this but am interested to know if wiping & copying can be done. I do want a spare ECU as a std map incase my performance flashed one arks up. I am not concerned with security codes but if there a wiped I could swap ecus willy nilly.
Sorry for any confusion.
