Have replied to PMs.
The serial number of the ECU will allow us to check whether its one of the ECUs with no CANbus, but RS232 would still work.
If it's a poorly soldered connector (only seen it once, maybe twice; these things happen!) a visual inspection will show it. If I recall, the Impreza ECU case has to be cut to reveal the Ethernet and comms connector - if the case gets bent or the cutting isn't quite right, then the comms connector pins can get shorted to chassis; again, a visual inspection should show this.
