Retro fit of Cruise Control

Featured Replies

I've updated the thread in 'Group Buys and Promotions', but I just wanted to say a big thanks to BigK for retro-fitting cruise to my 2000 1.4 8v Fabia. I do about 18000 miles a year at the moment, and really enjoy cruise equipped cars on long journeys.

Having cruise installed will probably make me keep the car for longer, as there is nothing else wrong with it. I fancy the VRS, and have test driven it, but as I think I picked up ANOTHER 3 points in Nottingham yesterday (mobile camera hiding), perhaps in hindsight this is not the best idea.

BigK certainly seemed to know his stuff, and had the car in bits and pieces within minutes... total install time was well under 2 hours.

He also turned the 'anti-jacking' option on, to lock the doors automatically over 5mph.

All in all, a great job, and I consider it to be good value for money, retaining the original look of the car (e.g. OEM parts).

I should point out it was by no means a certainty that this would work, just the luck of the draw I guess as to whether the Engine Management System (or whatever it is), could support the cruise control, but I figured it was worth the risk. As it was an 'older' model, I was quite pessimistic, but within about 20 mins or so BigK tested it and assured me it was going to work.

Cheers.

RBW. :D

I too have had CC fitted by K and would highly recommend it as a licence saver. It is also invaluable for making long journeys more relaxing.

All this praise will give K a big head.

Or should that be bigger head ? :D

Ditto, nothing but praise for the Kruise control install in my octy vrs.

:iagree: Professional job. Wouldn't be without Kruise control, now...

:thumbup:K is the Kruise Kontrol King

:D

:o
