The BSI is usually in two layers, up to about 2008 or so. One layer has all the nitty-gritty details of your car (mileage, immobiliser particularly) while the upper circuit board which is just a push fit, has the heavy artillery - door locking relays, wiper relays, that sort of stuff.
Depends which part is faulty, if either is - the upper board can be swapped like-for-like with no more effort than disconnecting the battery first. By comparison, a complete BSI swap requires a "virginised" unit with the mileage set to zero, and you need to match it with your engine's ECU (one chance only programming).

There is a guy on here that repairs BSI units but for the life of me I cant remember his name. He also sells the repair service on ebay to so try a search on both sites. He has had good reviews on work carried out.
Are we there yet?????
