Any cruise control retro fitters in the south?
« on: October 07, 2014, 03:35:26 pm »
Hi all,

I would really like to fit cruise control to my Edition 30 (07 plate). I don't really fancy attempting it myself (it will go wrong in my hands plus I don't have the required software), and most of the garages local to me want about £150+. Although that is not unreasonable I know there are people here who offer the service much cheaper (but are nowhere near my neck of the woods - Wiltshire). I require the stalk fitting as I don't have MFSW.

Any recommendations or anybody on this forum I should be contacting who is within a sensible distance from Salisbury?

Thanks!

Thanks for the recommendation. I think that used to be their price but it now shows £150 (I checked their site before posting my original post).

Anyone in Scotland (near Glasgow) had this done?  I was looking at Volksport in Dumbarton.  Really need to get it done asap as missing it.

I was quoted 150 by Awesome.

I'm booked in at the excellent Autosound Blackpool on Saturday for mine. £120.

Nah that was Kazman. I'm assuming Byron is NW based.
