Hi. Just to confirm something on an earlier post. Ive also changed and i am experiencing the same problem with the speed cruise. It goes on and off but doesn't set so I phoned a local Jag technician. He said that it may only be the throttle body that haven't been linked or connected to the control. He suggested doing a diagnostic check and maybe it can be cured by connecting it through the diagnostic software. I am going to Jag to have it checked out and hopefully I don't have to do any modifications and keep the newer steering.... I will let all know what the outcome was.

regards,

unplug these two plugs





one of these vidoes has the finished wheel

 

Nice, it seems like a very straightforward job. Do you recommend any sites to buy them from for a decent price?

 

Also does anyone know if I need to buy a steering wheel with a new airbag, or can i use the one currently on my car? If i upgrade from a 2002 to a 2004 steering wheel are the airbags fit differently?

 

i got mine from ebay i paid $90 for wheel and $30 for aibag ,make sure you get both and its not for a s-type,the air bags are differant between years

 

Cool beans, thanks for the info!

 

The airbags are different, and the 'new' cruise controls on the wheel do NOT play with the 2002/2003 controller, although if you are mechanically inclined, the controller can be made to play by adding the 'missing' control to the switch pack.

 

please can you tell me where about's did you splice in to the harness and what wires you splice in to
to fit the old cruise control . as i have just fitted the facelift steering wheel
thanks
