What is with the colours?
Um you will need a Manual ECU and is it CPI (carby looking but not) or multi-point (like most other EFI cars?)

I have the round keys too it's is just a better key instead of the standerd house door looking key(which are very easy too steal as I have been told)...
If you don't have a little red flashing light on your dash that says smart lock there is no smart lock...

No. 4 speed autos use electronics. 5 speeds are completely mechanical so don't have a gearbox ECU

The auto ECU shouldn't cause a problem if you leave it there. The manual ECU does plug in where the auto one is. If you have multipoint, you'll need a multipoint ECU though. There wasn't really any wiring difference under the bonnet. I think we did a tiny bit of wiring underneath (well, efgiar did). As for the LSD, look underneath. If there is a "Spin Resistant Diff" tag, it is LSD. LSD came standard on Ghias but were optional on the rest.
