I want to fit a cruise control on my Defender TD5, 2004, is that possible? Any suggestions? Thanks for any respons


Exactly this was covered by Dave Barker on P120 of the March 2006 issue of 'Land Rover enthusiast' magazine

It would seem that all the necessary electronic gubbins are already installed within your Engine Management Unit -- all you need do is buy and fit the necessary switches (which only cost a few pounds/dollars), and make up a small bracket.

I'm thinking of doing it for my Freelander TD4.

That certainly applies to a Disco II TD5 (BTDTGTTS) but does it also apply to a *Defender* TD5?

Thanks sofar. All info is very welcome. Maybe there is somebody who allready installed a cruise control on its TD5 Defender, that person is more then welcome to comment..

Thanks, Robert

Oops! I read the original post more than once, but STILL read 'Discovery' for 'Defender'! Blame old age -- well, it works for everything else.

Sorry, I don't know if the same applies to Defender. Perhaps someone else can confirm. Ditto for Freelander TD4 before I set out to try it myself.

Or rather is DOESN'T work for anything else. IME.
