Default Various control systems... BeCM?

Wondering what the various control modules are on the Disco 1 1997.
Does it have a BeCM?
Or just a ECM and various control modules for different features (I.e. window ecm, cruise control module, etc...)
Been surfing the web for what feels like years and can’t get a solid answer.
thanks in advance

They have separate boards for the different systems. the D2 had a BCM. the common confusion is that in 1999, they had a D1 and a D2 in the same year, and they looked somewhat similar. most noticeably on the outside, the rear lights were higher on the corners, and inside they had a more computerized dash.

They also called them all ECU's to further confuse people (Electrical Control Modules)

download the rave manuals. All of your questions are answered in it between the workshop pdf and the electrical pdf.

off the top of my head:
ecm
alarm
sunroof module
window module
abs
cruise control
airbag module
mutlifunction unit
rear ac module
maintenance reminder module
daytime running light module (canada only?)
fan timer module

and if you want to split hairs:
radio
cd changer
front amplifier (different on LSE)
rear amplifier (not on LSE)

Thank you! Yeah between ECU's BCU's and BCM's I was going crazy. Appreciate the clarification.

"maintenance reminder module" that little devil sure made LR some good old easy money back in the day!!!!!! Sucker would go off and people would haul butt down to the Dealership to have it looked at/reset. I remember it being around a $250.00 job. All for a tech to just stick a paperclip into that relay module to reset it.... When all you had to do was unplug it and toss it into the trash!
