Cruise control installation South East

[adilVRS]

Hi all

Does anyone know where I can get cruise control retrofitted to a mk1 fabia VRS in the SE London or Kent area?

If you get the genuine kit from eBay it's not hard to do yourself. Done mine and my mates. Only takes a few hours.

Hi

Is this the one?

I am not very good with these things - whats involved in fitting?

Yes that is the right kit.

The steering wheel needs to come off to change the stalks to cruise control ones.

Plug it in, and splice into a wire on the ecu (not as scary as it sounds)

Some of the plastics under the steering wheel need to come off to get access to the brake switch. It comes with instructions as well.

Forgot to add it will need enabling via vcds to work.

[adilVRS]

Yes - too much for my limited ability!

Anyone London based or in the SE that would install it?

Would certainly pay for your time!

Take a day trip to Unit18

Adil - main dealers did mine. Big price differences though. Paid 120 I seem to recall in the end had quotes twice that. Can dig out paperwork if helpful. I'm in Kent.

That included the part.

Hey joncc sorry for hi jacking thread - I'm also interested in having this done and am also in Maidstone. Did you go to the main dealer in Maidstone to get this done? So you say it cost you £120, how log ago was this? Thanks!

[joncc]

Beadles wanted much more than Motorline in Gillingham. Having said that I fed back to Beadles service dude and - retrospectively - he said they would have matched it. Beadles won't charge you for a loan car typically - but Motorline will (£12 for the insurance I think). Got it done earlier in the year. Good luck. P.s. That included all parts.

[joncc]

Can pull out receipt if helpful?

[Matt Gibson]

Brilliant thanks for that info very helpful! If you could dig out the receipt that would help actually yes thanks!

[adilVRS]

Plus one - definitely need it doing!

[adilVRS]

Woah - thread revival! !

I charge £160 fully fitted in Worcestershire.

Hi Tech1e

Thanks for the response.

Recall may have asked you before - wish I was closer and would have come to you by now.

Looking for someone closer to SE London or Kent.

Motorline in Medway did mine for about 130 including the part - Beadles in Maidstone said they would have matched it.

[Tech1e]

£130 is very cheap given the price of the genuine kit, a bargain to be sure.

[adilVRS]

Hi

Would go there - issue is I have bought the parts already.

Anyone willing to do it on here locally?

Will pay the going rate.

Hi all

Having my cruise fitted and ran into an issue.

Seems there is a wire missing from the plug in this photo (screwdriver pointing it out).

Are we missing something, or is the wire elsewhere?

[adilVRS]

[Tech1e]

Yup the white signal wire moves about depending on age. It always ends up at the ECU though which is why for the many many many I have installed I go straight to the ECU. Plus that connection point is a known source of connection issues,
