Similarly v tempted - would be good to see fitting instructions first... 2.4TDCI 90 - everyday brilliance
S3 V8 Lightweight - in the garage being ignored #newchassistime
S3 lightweight - 2nd car 24V fire risk with a full tilt and the windscreen down
S1 80" - first car fun - 75mph in neutral downhill once #wobblesallround

I’m very tempted with this one. The only problem I can see is the picture of the control stick seems to have a rather large/thick cable loom on the side that would be under the steering cowl. Not sure there would be room for this.


I had a similar thought, just written to them, will post when response comes back.

Depending on what we hear back and given how many of us are interested, they do a discount for a bulk buy. Worth considering, even if it only saves enough for a couple of jars.. Thumbs Up

RRP: £185
x5: £175
x10: £169.

If they have a commercial bone in their body, sure they’d be happy to get a bulk buy from a forum as important as Def2? Monsieur Le Grenadier

Got the feedback. Could anyone who's fitted the alternative systems we normally all refer to from mobile centre etc have a look and see if it looks similar and if there's any pitfalls?

This was the reply on the bending the wire..

Quote:
Hi Matt,

The Precision Cruise control stalk cable is very flexible and only 5mm cross section. There is no problem in bending it at 90 degrees to the mounting exit - we have no reports of any issues installing the system to Defender.

Kind Regards

Product Support Team


And I'm just figuring out how to upload the pdf file of the installation instructions!

well done chaps.

As the 2.2 runs CAN bus - does it mean you can get away without the manual wiring required to all the inputs? bit confused as the instructions show a load of connections for clutch, speed, brake etc but in the text it says you only need that if there is no CAN bus?

or is the "use this for 2.2D" on page 3 meaning its just a tap into the clutch wire that is required?

Thanks
Mike

No a 2.4 and 2.2 will need the hard wiring, not CAN. The clutch/brake signals aren't transmitted on CAN on Pumas.

Strange they don't have a page for the 2.4 clutch switch Confused  1988 90 Td5 NAS soft top

They agreed.....

"The only detail that the Cruise could use that is present on the Defender CAN system would be vehicle speed and given that manual connections for Brake and Clutch detection are already required, using CAN to read the vehicle speed isn't viable as this would entail 2 additional wire connections, whereas reading the analogue speed signal is just one wire connection.
Best regards
George"

Gives good confidence they know their field!

Since they seem to do a TD5 version I would be interested in a group buy as well - provided they can mix and match?!
Now all I have to do is work out if I’m a 6 wire or a 7 wire throttle... presumably this is as easy as it sounds and I just count the cables in the plug (or given Solihull QA there’ll be some unsheathed portion of cable where I can count the strands...)
