Hello everyone, I'm Nick from the Netherlands.

I'm currently driving een '96 cobra mustang, but I'm looking at XK8's because the cobra is annoying me more and more now that I have to daily drive it.

Anyhoo, in my search I encountered some good cars but they were missing the cruise control! To be honost, I think jaguar should've fitted all of these cars with cruise, but hey. My question is, is it possible to fit the cruise afterwards if I find one on ebay or a yard? Or would that require the ECU and wiring from a cruisecontrolled car too?

thanks!

 

Holy cow! I wasn't aware of any XK8's without factory cruise control. I just looked on edmunds.com and they show both the 1997 and the 2003 XK's as having cruise control as a standard feature, not an option. I didn't look at any other model years, but I can't imagine cruise control not being a standard feature. The 2003 has the cruise control on the front of the steering wheel. Perhaps the older cars have it on a stalk or something, I'm not sure. Perhaps another member can address that.

 

Where the car was delivered makes a lot of changes. All USA cars came with cruise as standard equipment.

 

ah bugger, so that would mean nobody on this forum ever had to retro fit one. There's a US model for sale near me, I might take a look at that one.

 

If you PM me your normal e-mail address, I can send you a document from a French Enthousiast who has done it and described whats needed.

De groetjes

 

will do thanks!

 

bugger, can't seem to PM you. Not enough posts I guess.
