Hi,

I have a 1995 Discovery V8 with automatic gearbox.

I have had trouble with the cruise control since new.

It has been repaired at least 5 times and still will not work.

It has cost me over A$ 400.00 after the warranty ran out and is useless.

Anything you can help me with?

I live in Adelaide, South Australia.

Regards,

Arie van der Winden

Main culprits are...

i) defective switch under brake pedal
ii) split in vacuum hose
iii) electrical problem

Thanks I haven't checked this switch before.

Checked this before, no problem.

Landrover fixed electrical problems a number of times but it never
lasted long.
