Thanks,

which ecu?
There are multiple, 30-40, but no, don’t know where they all are.
A modern car has usually in excess of 25 ECUs. My Fiat 124 spider has recently had 26 of them flashed
There was a rather brief period that auto manufacturers moved this direction, the idea was quickly found to be infeasible as more systems required computer control and control modules started to be located by where they best served to shorten the many associated wiring harnesses. Now many local modules communicate via the shared can bus.
To be honest... I also thought it was one "computer" on one car
Since Tdi there was one first, with the introduction of the Td5 there erer two.
Depends if you are talking old or New Defender, old Defenders may just have an engine one. New Defenders will have more like 80-100.
Most modern cars have an average of about 80, INEOS claims to half about half of most modern cars so I assume something like 30-40.
New Defender website braggs that they have 89 CPU's
And that's a good point too.. We're all using he term ECU. but ECU is Engine Control Unit. It's reasonable to want to know where the primary ECU is. Most of the other computers which people call ECU's do other functions like lights etc. Of course that's not to say that there aren't dependencies between them all.
In the Ineos it may well be labeled DME(Digital Motor Electrics) or DDE(Digital Diesel Electrics) due to the BMW drivetrain.
