Defender TD5 Cruise Control Install
Cruise control in! Courtesy of Empire Tuning, excellent well thought out kit!. Very much plug and play, much better than my attempt on the old 110 Laughing

Empires kit also gives an option for a tacho! Which is a great feature.

Whole thing took about 45mins to install inc modifying the cowl (they do provide a pre modified one though!)

Great upgrade, easy to install. Best bet is find your own D2 switch though, getting hard to find now.

Makes the long drives much easier Very Happy Instagram @defender_ventures

Ahhhh that kit. Yes that is better. I kind of wish I had gone that route rather than DIY'ing it for myself. Very neat with the Disco switches.

Curious about the tacho wiring too, that is a neat extra to have in the loom.

Or ratios can be changed within the ecu software. No need for a healer. Instagram @defender_ventures

I fitted Cruise Control about 10 years ago and 'upgraded' to the disco steering wheel switch about 2 years ago and it does look like it was meant to be there which I like.

I have a Roamerdrive so run the speed signal to the ECU through a 5pin relay so when the overdrive is engaged the speed signal is corrected by the Speedo healer, works a treat!

Is this the correct speed healer. Do I just connect all the wires and program it. I have the 1.2 transfer box and 265 tyres fitted thanks

Do you have a problem with engaging the cruise control then? Curious as I never did with the 1:1.2 transfer box in Miffy. I even have a speedo healer in the spares box that I took out because it wasn't needed in the end. Weird eh?!

But yes that looks like the right speedo healer. It connects in-between the speedo sensor and loom. I managed to route it through from the ECU compartment to the speedo gear through a grommet. Speedo healer was double sided next to the ECU.
