Thread: Cruise control

I have a Command 200 on my 92 Range Rover.

It went wrong about a year ago and would shuffle up and down in speed. After a lot of drama finding out what brand and model it was ( because the fitter had not specified it on the invoice and the brand does not appear ANYWHERE), I got in contact with Command who are in Silverwater Sydney.

They diagnosed the problem which was a failed solonoid and sold me the part directly for $48.
While all cruise controls will probably go wrong after a while, its good to be able to contact the technical staff and be able to get the part.
The part which activates the vacuum diaphrgm is the most likely part to fail. I tried to buy a spare but they said do not worry as they did not plan to change that part for many years.
So I am happy with mine. The cruise was fitted about 7 years ago by the previous owner.

By the way the Command and most other cruise controls will drop out if the speed drops by more than 10KMh on a hill. Is it hilly around you? Mine is a mechanical wire puller with vacuum from the petrol motor so I cannot comment on pulse generating ones.

Bruce Davis does a cruise for the Defender that uses the cruise module inside the original ECU.

No add-ons etc... to cause issues....

Worth taking a look at

TD5 is "fly by wire" and I believe Autron is the only one available. I have one fitted to mine. Really makes a long trip a breeze.
