i have checked as well and found there is a firm in kent who claim for about £150 they can supply a new ETM unit... if you were in my shoes would you buy one and get it fitted regardless?

No problem in wanting a nice car..
The ETM isn't an issue of "might go wrong", it will. Just a matter of when.
Don't let this put you off though as you can factor in the replacement against the price.
You can also get your money back as mentioned, people have done this successfully..
As far as I know, there is no such thing as a "new ETM" they are now all reconditioned items. But do please prove me wrong..
Certainly, when you go to a dealer for the ETM replacement, you get on with a yellow sticker on it to replace the original with the white sticker.
This will be a reconditioned unit.
If someone says he has a new one, it should have a white sticker on it..
Be cautious.
But you have no need to worry until the 80 to 100k miles have passed.
A bit less if the car did mostly town/city driving..
