Hi all

Found this on Ebay, and remembered a thread a little while ago. Thought
somebody might be interested. Shame really, as I am taking my Discovery to
Louth on Tuesday to have mine fitted.

Probably more than £55 and a couple of hours of your time as well...

The hardest part is cutting the hole in the steering wheel rear cover.
The rest is just plugs in sockets. Well worth the money, makes bowling
down the motorway a doddle.

Ask Seller a Question...

But I doubt it. For a start all the wiring and switch posistions are
in place in a Disco II, it really is a plug into socket job after you
have cut the hole. Defenders are totaly different inside.

Now *IF* the Defender TD5 has the same ECU you *might* be able to
replicate the switching. Is cruise an option on the Defender TD5, I
wouldn't have thought so. What does a farmer want cruise for? B-)

DiscoParts sell the kit with full instructions for £46.00, comes with the
cutting template and the metal bracket needed for the steering wheel switch
assembly.

http://www.discoparts.com/Products/Interior/Cruise_Control/cruise_control.html

I did mine last year, took about 45mins, 20 of which was spent waiting to
ensure the airbag had disarmed. Works perfectly. If I can install it
anyone can!

£46.81 + VAT actually which is £55.00. Strangely the same price as the
Buy It Now item from eBay seller "discoparts" in Stafford who wants
cheques made out to Proser Ltd...

Now I could be wrong but I have just this tiniest suspicion that they
are one and the same.

Ah yes, hadn't spotted that! I suspect your 'suspicion' may be correct!
Apologies
