Agreed, cheapest option and if it doesn't work, nothing lost

Do the plugs on the loom that go into the ECU as well. Let it all dry for half a day and if you're lucky you may find it'll be good for another 10 years or so.

I had to do this 10-12 months ago after water got in the ecu. Amazingly (I thought so anyway), it worked and I've had no dramas since

Thanks everyone for the replies much appreciated
It appears it was bad fuel, which caused the car to back fire which stuffed the air flow meter. Mechanic also found rust and sh*t in the fuel tank and filters. Fuel tank cleaned ,new air flow meter, new fuel filter and new fuel pump filter and know she is running like a dream.
