Could explain the air-con link to the stalling problems too. Air-con condensers can chuck out a fair bit of heat. Could you just rig up a small PC fan to waft cool air over the ECU? Or move it somewhere a bit cooler?

Water cooling for the ECU?
Nowhere to reposition it?
That seems like quite a niche issue.
Also apologies for not sorting the detailing out. Will do it as soon as it's back from the mech.

On a different note, anyone remember my car stopping when it got really hot? It's at the mechanics at the moment, he left it idling for three hours as a test, ECU got to 67 degrees with the car sitting there at 800rpm, this was in ambient temps of ~6 degrees.
He reckons the ECU was getting way, way too hot and was crashing, so he's fitted an over-ride switch that brings the fan on (which he usually fits for trackday use) that can be used to turn the fan on in traffic.
