Default Box directly left of the BCU?

What is the electronic component box directly to the left of the Body Control Unit behind the glove box? Like the BCU it has lots of multiplugs coming from the bottom.

I think the SLABS unit has five connectors, and mounts to the left of the BCU. The ACE ECU mounts on the right of the BCU and has only a single connector.

Thanks everyone, it’s the SLABS unit. I was trying to think of all of the computers in the D2 as I searched the RAVE and that one escaped me.

A Land Rover D2 isn't as bad as the 2020 Kia Forte GT where I was told by a lovely car salesman it had over 422 computers on it..... (sensors maybe but no way that car has 422 ECU's on it!!!!) BTW he pitched that story to my wife who bought it hook line and sinker and she went for a $1,600.00 additional warranty on a brand new car that comes with a 10/100,000 mile warranty..... I was so over the entire new car buying experience I was just looking forwards to getting home and looking on FB Marketplace or CL for some old LR's lol.

Yeah, as computers get smaller, cheaper, and more powerful they get put everywhere! That count of four hundred some computers probably counts every LED chip controller as a “computer.” Not that I’m complaint though, it’s pretty incredible what can be done.

If my wife has any issues she can drop it off with it’s little fancy extended warranty she just had to have. I will be staying out of it lol.
