TD5 Cruise control

I would like to fit cruise control to my TD5 defender.
As the ecu is the same for the disco and defender then I am guessing that
the cruise control facility is there aswell, may be wrong but hope springs
eternal.
Have had the steering columb cowl off and there is still the a spare bracket
which could take an after market cruise control stalk.
So the question is could it be that simple or have I missed some thing?
Also would anybody have a wirring diagram for a disco?
Any help greatfully received.

Dad,

Fitted cruise control to my manual Disco II TD5, took about an hour
and cost about £50. All the wiring is in place the hardest part was
cutting the hole for the switch on the steering and that was only
cause I took my time to get in the correct place.

In fact the switch has quite a wide "skirt" so positioning isn't too
critical. I drilled a series of small holes then use a pair of wire
cutters to cut between the holes then a file to tidy things up a bit.

I got the parts from www.discoparts.com this is the link for the
cruise control page:

I suspect that Richard www.beamends-lrspares.co.uk could also supply
the parts.

I think it needs to turned on on your ECU.
