TD5 Cruise Control Kit

[canucks]

Hey everyone,

I have been looking at installing a cruise control kit in my car for a while now. But they are so expensive.


Take this one for example Land Rover Defender TD5 Cruise Control KIT 2002 2007 Terrafirma TFCCK | eBay (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Land-Rover-Defender-TD5-Cruise-Control-Kit-2002-2007-Terrafirma-TFCCK-/190864202558?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2c70649b3e&_uhb=1)

$380 for what appears to be some wire, terminals and two switches... am i missing something?

Are there any how tos on how to make and connect of of these myself?


Thanks

Awesome, I was also wondering about this. I know what I will be doing this weekend.

You'll need the pins for the ECU plug before you can do it

It's all been covered on here before (a few times) - use the search function / box at the bottom of the page. All the info and diagrams are available on this site.

Will cost you about $10 for two switches and some wire.

Cheers,

Ian.

You legend mate.

Could you explain a bit more about making the loom please?

Is it just 5 wires Grey (11, SET), Brown (17, RES), Black (15), Blue (10) and Green (12v power). I get that grey brown and blue are connected to the two switches, and green is 12V ignition power, but where does black (15) go; and what does green connect to?

I assume you sell the loom as a kit, what is the price for it and do you have a website i can look at the other services you offer?

Thanks

So from the ECU under the seat I used 3 core extension lead :)

A big thanks to Tombie for his help. Here is the finished product. It works well and for the price I am very happy.
