Hi,guy

Many thanks.

In short - if you're asking this question - you should not be doing it. You are placing yourself and other road users at risk.
Amatuer programming of brake systems is not to be encouraged.
Go and pay a professional to do the job correctly and legally.
And as Ron said above, most of us are under warranty. We would not even consider taking such measures.
But I suppose in 5 years time, these questions may become more common.
Abzynthe seems to be the most tech head amongst us .. so that's the person to listen to, I've not noted anyone else here doing such low-level work. (low-level = inside the black boxes that I wont open ).
I was going to write 'good luck' - but really, that's not a term I want to use with regard to braking systems.

The car is in a garage, I like to be informed on what needs to be done in case they can't do it, I did ask earlier if anybody knew a repair centre for a Bosch system - If you think I'm being cheap then that's your point of view but I just want the abs pump to work with the car without having to go to peugeot as if nobody explores these avenues then will we all continue to pay dealer prices?
The pump I have turns out to be from another RCZ but needs to be coded to my car as we would program a new key, instrument cluster etc.
It's a matter of time before someone else needs to do this - will they buy a brand new pump from peugeot and pay £800 to peugeot for it??

Ah, yeah, like I said, cheap. With a potential compromise in safety to the car, it's driver and any other innocent parties.
You're buying a part that's not for the RCZ, and trying to do a dodgy hack to make it work, on a critical component of the car. Sheesh. I find incomprehensible and begin to question the legality of it. Would you tell the next car owner that you have short-changed the braking system? If you told me that, I'd quickly turn my back on such a sale.
