Does anyone know where i can purchase the cruise control kit dor a discovery 2

I know i can buy the cruise control  switch and set/resume switch from the dealers but they dont sell the braket and i've no idea how to make one....im good with electronics but crap at fabrication  Whoops SO i want a full kit that i just have to fit.  There used to be loads on ebay but nothing at the moment.

Thanks

No the switches from the dealers don't come with the brackets BUT the kits that were being sold on Ebay and by a few other companies do have the brackets.  I know that the wiring is already to go and its just a simple matter of pushing the plugs in its the Bracket i'm short of.

Anyone fancy making one for me...for a fair price of course OR i have a Nanocom if you need any fault codes clearimg  Laugh Out Loud

And before someone says make one yourself...i can't im hopless at Fabrication.  I can do anything electrical/electronic, can do most mechanical jobs but Fabrication is a Black art to me  Cry

more of the same and flog 'em on ebay!

well done on the conversion,  I love the cruise control on my TD5 (which I retrofitted), and it's astonishing that LR never fitted just a couple of extra switches as standard!

Yeah its a great feature.

I suppose Landrover were thinking about how much EXTRA they could charge its customers for an upgrade that they would have very little to do to implement. Twisted grin

Thats big business i suppose.

Very True, I was quoted nearly £300 to fit it. Ended up buying the switches and plate off ebay and did it myself for just under £50. The Dealer even tried to tell me they needed to programme the ECU blah blah blah. Fortunately I found several people on here who had done it to convince me they were talking the usual???
