I love a mystery! In an Australian Spec', early 98 Disco 1, RHD, the ECU is located in the driver's footwell behind the kick panel. Will attack it this weekend and report back. Best news is when I was looking under seats etc. I found all the original books, service history as well, bonus!

Problem Solved!
It only took 5 years, but we have finally cracked it - a bad Engine ECM/ECU. I bought a used ECU on ebay, same model number as the existing one. Plugged it in up at the shop and we had to 'Learn' the immobilizer code with the Autologic. If you don't use the Learn function, it will turn over but not fire. After using the Autologic she fired up and is running beautifully for 100 miles in all kinds of driving! For the record, the ECM/ECU on my 96 Disco NAS is in the engine bay right side, immediately next to the washer fluid. I would love to meet the rocket scientist that put this computer where it is prone to flooding!
Thanks everyone for helping solve this.. Good luck Aus with your Disco - keep us posted.
