inline there is a speedo transducer on my disco, what is there for, is it a feed back to the ECM or otherwise?, the speedo is mechanical has a cable running to it. and could it be used to drive a after market cruise control unit?

Cheers

The VSS (vehicle speed sensor) tells the ECU how fast you are going for a number of reasons including speed limiter, engine fueling, etc.
If yours is bad just buy a new one.

 

its not bad, just want to tap into the signal for a cruise control unit

cheers

I would be very careful "tapping in" as you may very well end up with results other than what you desire. But it's your truck, do it if you dare. Personally I would avoid any such tampering, why not fix your existing druise control if you really feel you need it, I took mine off and am giving it to Cosmo for his.

 

if mine had it fitted i would fix it will have a play and see what happens,

Didn't think cruise wasn't an option

 

How you guys forget...we are not the only place Rovers are sold.
They were kitted out at the factory with options that would sell the best here in the US, other parts of the world you could get manual windows, no a/c, no cruise, cloth seats, 4 cylinder engine and a 5-speed as well as steel rims.

 

mine was a Japanese import to NZ, had a/c, no cruise, has cloth seats 7 seats, twin manual sunroofs, no air bags, no abs, steel wheels,3.9 V8 with very little electrickery to go wrong

 

And hat is exactly how God intended them to be.
