If it is the engine Ecu you are looking for ,it sits next to the battery ,in the plastic case.(assuming the battery is under bonnet on this model)hth

Cheers, I will have a look. It is actually to plug in a tool to get rid of that damn airbag light that stays on. Has anyone else used this?

Hold on just a minute.What you are really trying to do is access the airbag system ,not the engine control electronics.The 16 pin diagnostic socket is located in the plastic panel/tray just above the brake pedal.There is usually a plastic cover/flap that hinges down.If your plug in tool manages to read the sytem(doubtful),it will probably identify faults with the seat belt pre-tensioers.hth

A common cause of the airbag warning light is a loose/faulty connector underneath the seat
