so i got some switches and some wire and found the ecu pins, both male and female also got the seals.
for a little bit of fussin and 40min work the 90 has cruise controll and its the schizz!:)
man, why it dosnt come as standard fitment i dont know, and with the TRT chip/intercooler she holds what ever speed up hills also.
it can be set from 45kph. it has a slight delay, only a second or two.
so all in all im wrapped!


cheers phil

The big problem is that if you have an overdrive, the cruise doesnt work, also if you have disco gears in the T/Box and larger than standard tyres it doesnt work.

There are a few maps in the ecu which control the cruise and there are a few settings that can be amended. Still working on the mapping though to get it working under all circumstances...

It will work on standard geared Defenders from 2002 onwards (flashable ecu type).

i know there is problems between the aftermaket cruise controlls and gkn overdrive, but please explain the comment in red.
i have larger tyres and mine works.
