To Whomsoever It May Concern:
No, seriously. I can positively assert that no Y2K issues exist within
the ECU's of Land Rover EFi V-8's as there are no dating codes. This
applies to Lucas/Bosch, SAGEM, and Bosch ECU's. I have read this
in numerous bulletins over the last year. I would also presume that the
same or similar logic applies to Rover Plus 4's. (I will freely admit that
there IS quite a bit of spooky technology in my 4.0, however!)
The funny thing is that I cannot make the same assertion about the
ECU in late-model Ford Zetec 1.8 4/4's. It WOULD be rather droll if
the British engines were fine and the Ford were not. So, maybe it's
the 4/4's that would be parked on New Years Day!!! Anyway, Ford
would probably not be that stupid either. General Motors might be a
different story.
