Did the garage check for any fault codes, what makes them think the ecu is defective still rare for a ecu to packup, breaking the code must be to do with the memory module or immobilizer maybe they are guessing thats the problem, if you do need a new ecu its going to cost, I still think its earth related maybe the ecu itself has lost its earth, do you get any relays clicking a lot when you turn the ign on, I will ask a friend later who is a auto electrician, did you drive it to the garage do they still have it, if they do change the ecu make sure you get to keep the old unit.
