Default Z4 ECU wanted for '96 import WRX

I've got a non-starting '96 WRX import (pre face lift 'coil on plug' type)
I'm told the Z4 ECU has failed and I need a new one.
Anyone got one that they want to sell? (Obviously want to pay as little as possible!)

Edited to add Z4 details

Many thanks for the replies guys.
Been told I have a Z4 unit. I assume that means a W6 or U8 wont work?

U8 and w6 will work but they are from an early wrx (240ps), Z4 is 260ps.
Who told you your ecu has failed and how did they test it?

Took it to Weston Performance as a non-starter.
They've checked it out and told me it has a spark on 1 cylinder out of 4 and that the ECU is the problem.

I might have a Z4 ecu (260ps) available this week I'm just waiting for a new one to turn up. It's in the car and running perfectly at the moment.

Let me know how much if it does become available.
Been thinking about the lower power ones to save a couple of quid and I think it would be a bit rude. It runs a sweet 275bhp at the moment (well, it used to!) thanks to the exhaust, so it would be a shame to take 20 off after having £500 worth of exhaust fitted a year ago to put 15 on..!

Very true When I remove the ecu I'll check what it is and I'll let you know
