Tdci Cruise Contol.
I have one of the last of the 2.4 tdci's before they went onto become 2.2.

The problem is I am recovering from a badly broken right leg. I have had to have titanium rod in my lower leg and I am 6'2 tall so the cockpit of my pride and joy is rather snug anyway.

I will get onto the point: has anyone had experience at fitting cruise control to a tdci defender. I am worried driving my defender longish distances will be too uncomfortable without cruise control.

If anyone has recommendations about what kit is best and are they an easy fit for a competent DIY mechanic?

Word of advise form the pained and know wiser: make sure your work area is always clean and tidy, no matter how short of time you are! You might just end up with 3 months off work, in pain on sick pay!

Any thought or experiences welcome.

Kevin

I've not got myself, but was also considering CC and after lots of reading on here had narrowed it down to this one:-

Might be a good place to start looking... Thumbs Up

I'm pretty sure there are a number of informative threads on here concerning CC, try the search function. Steve.

I have the Terrafirma/Nakatakenga cruise control on my 2.2. There is a version for the 2.4. Fantastic piece of kit. Has worked faultlessly.

You should find a couple of threads about cc´s on here.
One of the best mods you can fit, as long as you use your Defender for motorways, holidays, and any longer journeys. So much more relaxing.

Hi Kev

I purchased a cruise control a couple of weeks ago from Tim at mobile centre, he is on the forum and he gave me a good def2 discount. Like yourself I'm an enthusiastic amateur particularly when it comes to electrics, there is an excellent write up with photos on here by jimz. I fitted it last Sat all in it took me three hours to install and with the jimz write up it becomes easier and quite straight forward. The difference is night and day, well worth the effort, and simple to operate when fitted.
