hiya
ive been asked this a few times and just wished to update this subject in one go.
my freelander is a 2002 TD4 3 door auto,it was originally a commercial van and converted it to have internal rear seats and trim.
wishing to fit cruise control and with sound advice i found i needed the steering wheel controls, a master on/off switch which on the 2002 model is fitted next to the instrument panel and not in the front centre console.Lastly the cruise control ECU which is fitted under my drivers seat,the wires were hidden under the drivers seat carpet,there is a small slit and the wires were just tucked underneath with a small plug on it, not to be confused with the fitment of heated seats or a DVD
All the wiring was in my FL and didnt have to convert anything, the wires were behind the blanking plug on the instrument panel, i bought a steering wheel from ebay which had the radio and cruise control paddle control switches already fitted, and the ecu i also got from ebay,second hand for around £35.00.
I think in total it cost me around £100 for the entire job, i just plugged it all in and it worked without having to get it activated by Land rover's T4 diagnostics computer.
On my investigation of this my FL is a pre face lift model and is an auto as im not sure if it will work with a manual gearbox and there are extra wires already fitted to the autobox that are not fitted to the manual box.
hope this may have helped anyone.
