ECU Trouble

I didn't think D1's had BCM's?????

These abbreviations
What is the ECU? I only know of the ECM.
What is the Security Module? I know of an alarm system relay.
What is a BCM?
The D1 had me stumped for a while but the forum jargon has me stumped many times...

Engine control module or emission control module or electronic control module. Or replace the word module with unit.
Security = Alarm, but it also is designed to keep the engine from starting.
BCU is the body control unit. A computer for the body systems. Not in a D1. D2, P38 and newer have something like this.

Gee thanks... my flabber is gasted... and I assume BCU = BCM?
My starting problem was the immobiliser that has a mind of its own.
And the British (of all people) put all these electronic control-whatevers in the vehicles they punt as designed for travelling the lonely places on this planet? Reading the plethora of sad facts and worries owners have on this forum I think Landrovers are OK to play with, and then get towed away to get its electronics fixed up - or get it not fixed up soon. You want electronic stuff to keep n working year after year you get the Dutch to design it and the Japannese to build and install it.
At least the 4-wheel drive system is originaly German designed.
That aircraft in my avatar is a British Hawker Siddeley Buccaneer - a transonic strategic and tactical strike weapon of immense ability which I flew in anger. The design philosphy and performance was way up with the best en better than most. Gee, but the design of the man-machine interface was prehistoric. A cockpit cluttered with instruments and switches and ***** and little 1960 generation electronic indicators. And all these not grouped together by system - apparently they had a big loom of wires of different lengths and where a wire ended that is where that instrument or switch was placed...
So much to learn about the electronics in my old D1 here. I had two Tdi Landrovers in South Africa (1994 and 1995) three engines and four gearboxes in two years, two power steering boxes, two A-frame ball joints, two diesel pumps, and when I left them at the dealer still under warranty and claimed my money back the new stuff already had oil leaks...
I got this old neglected D1 for a song and plan to fix her and keep her if I can live with the massive oil leak from the steering box. It seems fixing helps for a few months, or a few hours by some reports.
