Anyone able to shed any light on this at all. If I got an ecu with keys would it work? Or foe I need the transponder and dash etc? Any info would be appreciated

I dont know about swapping the engines but is it worth sourcing the same engine but second hand?
I too can confirm a hefty bill when the guides go. Mine happened a couple of months ago. £2187 to be repaired. The tensioner that is talked about was modified later i think to help prevent the slap on start up.
