   Hey guys,
   
   What year did the vtr go from 1 plug to 3 plug ecu?

   2000.....ish
   
   Though I've seen X reg 3 plugs, and 51 plate single plugs.
   So depends when it was registered.

   Im stockpiling Ecu's at the minute.
   
   Ideally I need someone local with a single plug ECU to come play swap the ecu.
   
   If it runs in that persons car it means the ecu is unlocked.
   
   or i need to buy a cheap phase 1 vtr aswell

   Make sure you unplug the the imobliser box from the car your testing on.
   Or your unlocked ecu will become locked.

   Thanks lads ... The second link says 'none keypad type tho' ... My vtr was the keypad type! .. .. What do I need to do cuz I dont want to lock my unlocked ecu when I plug it in ... The vtr engine has been scraped now .. As the 16v lump has been bolted into place
