I have a 1985 2.1 Caravelle LHD
I have just found a black box on the inside
It is attached to LHS rear wheel arch , i did not know it was there until the kids found a secret panel in the cupboard
They suspect previous owner was a drug runner
Anyone know what it is ?

No seems to wires coming out it
The space at the bottom of the cupboard will be definately be handy

Its an optional extra for owners who wish to self destruct the van when the rust is to much.

Try cutting the wires and see what stops working
Actually, that was meant to be a joke, but if you do that carefully and rejoin carefully ( chokkie bloks ) it's not such a bad idea !!
My suggestions are =
A split charge thing
An Alarm thing
A Eber heater thing
Summat to do with a sound system

DONT CUT THE WIRES!
he he you bad bastards, I 'm assuming you have an MV code 2.1 engine, the box is the ECU or brain for your engine.

No, I am not going to cut any wires
Yes its a 2.1 petrol engine
MCU is something I will have to read up on
But on the back wheel arch is a strange place for it
Thanks
