Does it have cruise control or just a speed limiter?

if it does have cruise can someone tell me were to find and engage it:)

Hi, you don't have to engage, just get up to speed and press the + button on the steering wheel (top button LHS) and CC will set. You can adjust speed by holding + or - button; cancel and resume by pressing the lower button LHS.
Hope this helps,
Rob:)

Every Defender owner will get to know Freelanders well, in fact you will learn about all of LRs loan cars, Volvos, Jags and the like. They should use this as a selling point when pitching the Defender.

Should I tell the boss that you've found the speed limiter on his car?

Or just the speed warning?

In the traditional sense a speed limiter is what they have on trucks and Ferraris, the FL2 may have one as well but at a guess may be around the 180km/h mark. I think what Dullbird was asking about is what you see in Commodores, they beep at you when you exceed a set speed by you and the FL2 doesn't have one of these.

there is a speed limiter on the pug I think...well thats what Ian told me..he said you set it to a speed a bit like cruise control but it does not allow you to go over it as he found out when trying to overtake someone when he forgot he set it:lol2:

he said he could not find the cruise control on the pug and then said he thought that the FL2 might be the same....however I thought it very odd for a land rover not to have cruise control hence the question...

and now I have used it I have an even more relaxing drive to work in the mornings..its so nice having air conditioning that works properly:)

I thought the aircon in the new Defenders was quite good? Or is it just a problem with yours hence the loan car?

it was when we first got it then there was a problem that was fixed but it never gets as cold as it used to but garage have tested and said its fine but I disagree...its crap... when on long drives does not cool well at all.

I drove a Peugot around Europe and the speed limiter was pretty handy. It took me about 3 days to figure out how to use the cruise control on it.

Yes, there is a cruise control on the FL2. As mentioned before, you'll find it on the steering wheel.

As for speed limiter, AFAIK there isn't a 'limiter' but there is an overspeed audible warning in the ECU. Some countries require this by law but I think it is an option which can be enabled through the settings menus at other times... but don't quote me on that. ;)
