To be honest I think if it is motorway driving that is the problem i would install a cruise control system (either the LR simple DIY one or the plug and play units) and be certain of a right foot relaxing drive...


I would love it if somebody could point me in the direction of the "LR simple DIY" cruise control for the Defender TD5.

All l can find is a kit at over £400.


Here's a few links I found a while back. A friend did the wiring in mine based on the links then later I fitted a disco 2 switch mounted to the steering column as the +/set controls to tidy it up a touch. IIRC, the cheap install only works on the later NNN-type ECU, not the early TD5 versions.

It worked great until I fitted a recon gearbox with a V8 5th gear ratio. Then ECU started reading incorrect revs and knocking the CC off so a speedo correction box was fitted to alter the signals going to the ECU. You would also require this if you have a 1.2 transfer box fitted. 2005 Td5 110 Hardtop

Just look at the picture l posted and the description on my previous post. It's all you need to know.

PS it was the June 2011 edition of LRO. I resurrected this thread from back then!


2011!!! Rolling with laughter never looked at the OP date. Thanks, for posting though. In looking at the time stamp and time difference over here, yours was not yet up when I asked the question. Appreciate the photo (worth a 1000 words as they say)

Clutch pedal spring modification, definitely do this, so much nicer to drive.

Throttle pedal modification, does make the pedal lighter and well worth trying out. Very easy to return to standard if you prefer the heavier pedal action.

Yah, did the clutch thing when I bought it years ago. One of the best mods ever to do to a Defender. Will pull the trottle pedal and have a go at it soon.

You don't need to remove the pedal, you can easily drill the hole with it in place.
