Jaguar & Land Rover Bosch MD1 / MG1 ECU (2020+) – Unlock, Cloning & Repair
Assessment fee deducted from an approved repair. Repair is not included in the assessment price.
Feedback from garages and vehicle owners
Supported ECU data transfer, with compatibility checked first.
Bosch MD1CP007, MD1CP017 and MG1CS028 engine ECUs used in newer Jaguar and Land Rover models (Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, Defender, Discovery and others, around 2020 onward). These ECUs are locked from the factory, which is why a second-hand ECU will not simply plug in. We unlock, clone your data to a replacement or repair your own unit.
Common faults
- No start – engine ECU not communicating
- Second-hand ECU fitted but the car will not start
- Water damage or failed ECU after a battery or jump-start fault
A fault code alone does not prove the ECU has failed. Send the codes and a photo of the ECU label on WhatsApp before ordering.

Questions
Repair, cloning or replacement – which do I need?
If your unit has a repairable fault, repair keeps your original and needs no programming. If it is damaged but readable, cloning to a matching used unit is usually cheapest. If it cannot be read or repaired, we quote a replacement with your data transferred where possible.
Will the car need coding after the work?
Not after a repair or a successful clone – the immobiliser and coding come from your original data. Some units need adaptations reset after fitting.
Does a fault code prove the unit is faulty?
No. Supply, earths, wiring, sensors and actuators can set the same codes. That is why every unit is tested first and you get a written report.
What if my unit is not faulty?
You pay only the bench test and receive the report to show your garage.
Do you remove immobilisers or emissions equipment?
No.
Not sure of the part number?
Send a photo of the label on WhatsApp or by email before ordering and we confirm the right service.
