Replacing SRS ECU

Replacing SRS ECU
Hi,
So just had an auto electrician look at my Freelander 2002 TD4 2L and has confirmed what I already suspected that my SRS ECU is toast.
Located a second hand one with same YMC... code so am hoping I can just do a straight swap?
Also, the auto electrician has offered to come and do the swap for a price but I was wondering if it's an easy job? Carpet is already cut so guessing I would not need to remove dash or anything?
Cheers in advance for any advice

See attached page from the RAVE. When the RAVE (shop manual set) warns you to do certain things, there are reasons for it. So while the unit is affixed with three Torx bolts, you have to "safe" the air bag system, remove the heater, etc. You should probably download the RAVE and read over all the associated step to decide if you want to do this or pay some one.
Paying a shop with a credit card also gets your the legal team support from the card company in the event you have to dispute charges because they triggered your air bags, etc.

Yeah, some idiot out of a nj dealer didn't follow the directions on an LR3 and installed a new one on its side without bolting it down and programmed it. Once he programmed the srs module the vehicle thought it had turned over on its side and set all the airbags off. Dealer had to pay for all of it. Met the guy who worked next to him. We know about this warning cause it came out as a bulletin without the backstory soon afterwards.
