Yeh.. I saw that when I was looking - it's been up for ages.

Ended up buying a complete 2.3 engine with ECU, all ancillaries and surrounded by a Rover 623 for £270..
Saved myself 490 beer tokens and drove it home!

I've offered them £150 and said I want the ECU with it...

(I have of course made that offer with no intention of actually buying, safe in the knowledge it will be rejected!

)

TBH £150 is too low, but it's much, much nearer to the mark than £850!
You could get one imported from the states for £350 I think though, last time I looked (including import duty).
