have you used this company? are they any good?

better than the company in the ebay link?

thank you all from your help

looks alot cheaper than i had expected it to be.

do they install the cruise lights in the dash? i.e. cruise on etc

Pabs takes his cupra there as do a few others on here. I would take my car there but have a good mechanic else where.

Would trust them far more than some eBay company.

There are no cruise on lights in the Leon

Warranty?? Hope so!

Spoke to the fitter Gareth, he says that they do quite a few on VW Based cars, Alhambra, Sharan, Galaxy, Leon, Golf etc etc...

Comes with 2 x years warranty and the feedback for cruise control seems to be highly recommended!

Bit of a gamble i know but need cruise control for daily M4 run.

Will keep you posted

Can you change the speed with this system, or is it just on and keeps that speed?

 

[briggd01]

You can change the speed with the accelerator then press set again or use the +/- buttons on the Cruise Stalk to adjust the speed faster or slower.

It's a great bit of kit for the long motorway miles, also cool for 30/40 MPH speed limits so that you don't accidently go over near a speed camera or keep constantly looking at your speedo.

Set and forget!

 

[stuart86]

have you got a light on your dash to tell you cruise control is working?

 

[briggd01]

Nope, didn't think there was a light on the Leon's??

 

[Nathanio]

No lights for cruise on Leon/Toledo. Shouldn't need one tbh as you should now what the car is doing

Been a convert to cruise control for many a year, had it on this Leon from new (fitted by stealers from options list). Worth it's weight in gold, not only for m'way driving (especially on the continent) but as has already been said, great for keeping your licence and being able to focus on the road ahead (a must have with the SPECS systems round here... ) .

Matt - is yours a 110 or PD130? Some 110's did not have any of the necessary wiring in the main loom, as it had to be specified as a factory fit item, rather than a dealer fit item like in the 130 SE's. However, if you're going for an alternative kit than SEATs own, should be ok?

Mine is the older 110

Hello, was interested in getting one of these for my Seat Leon FR TDi, bt my question is does anyone know anyone in the Greater Belfast area (Northern Ireland) that can fit these at a reasonable charge.

Cheers for the replies

you can order it and fit it yourself, can't imagine its that hard!
