Welcome to rovermems.com


Here is a collection of information and software surrounding Rover car ECUs and control units
The ECUs are referred to and marked as "MEMS" ECUs which stands for Modular Engine Management System
Rather than building a new ECU for every car, a base ECU was used with slightly different components and software depending on the application

This applies to cars (engines) from around 1991-2000+ including Rover (Mini, Metro, 100, 200, 400, 600, 800), Land Rover, MG - F TF, Lotus Elise, Kit cars - Caterham, Morgan, Westfield etc
