Hi, I have recently purchased an American left hand Drive MX5 Miata. I bought it knowing the previous owner had been told by Mazda that the ECU had 'gone'. Im new to motors, so purchased Haynes MX5 manual and set to work.... I have researched an reconditioned ECU but cant locate the old/fitted one!!? Manual states behind the passenger seat - looked, removed carpets and seat but no luck! CAn you tell me where the ECU is located please as I simply dont have a clue! Many Thanks!
