I’ve only ever once diagnosed and solved an issue on any Rover with a new PCM(power train control module). The PCM had codes for overheat which was caused by the PCM cooling fan dying.
most shops will blame the PCM when they can’t figure out the issue.
so, a PCM is VIN specific.
only option is to buy new from the dealer or find a competent locksmith who can code a used module to your vehicle. In so cal we have a guy that charges $800 for that service.
a new dealer module will need coding as well.

The folks at GAP will help with upgrading and reprogramming ECUs with their IID tool. I think it's an extra $30 per flash. Email them with details, pay, and they will send you a custom update and instructions. I've done this to reprogram used modules that I bought on eBay that were originally coded to a different VIN. Can confirm it works great and much cheaper.
