When you open up the bonnet, the E.C.U should be on the right in a black plastic box that is screwed to the body.
if it is a MK1, the ECU is very easy to change a 10 min job; to ensure the engine still starts you must change the code box and ignition barrel to match the key/code. if it is a mark 2, 3 or 4 it is probably hard to do.
