cruise control

Due to the relatively low speed of the Jimny and my right foot/ankle I find long motorway journeys tedious so have decided to fit a Waeco MS-50 cruise control kit from www.conrad-uk.com
It is currently retailing for around £99. It comes from Germany and has the tuv certificate.
I have the kit and I can only say it is VERY comprehensive and contains everything in separate bags depending on your setup.
I could have got a much cheaper throttle setting device but it is not true cruise control so doesn't vary on hills etc.
I hope to start installation today and depending on weather/other commitments have it completed in a few days although the average fitting time is over a weekend according to the reviews.
At first the instructions seem daunting(there is a download on the webpage) but after studying it it is installed starting with the vacuum servo.Then as you follow the instructions each item is dealt with separately.
Printing the instructions on A4 helps as the book is miniscule with multiple languages.
I've got the perfect position for the servo behind the n/s h/lamp with the cable curving round the back of the engine. I might have to extend the vacuum pipe using some brake tubing but otherwise it is straightforward.
I'll let you know how it goes with some pics.

Look forward to that one

Wow a Jimny with cruise, I am surprised Suzuki hasn't started fitting such extras on the latest cars, they are available on pretty much everything else nowadays.

Might be cos of model being superceded soon though.

2hrs 30mins later I have the vacuum servo completely installed.
The main module is screwed to the left hand side of the centre console just under the dash. I installed it there as it has a 3 position switch which you may have to adjust for sensitivity..
The (bulky)control switch is stuck on a small aluminium plate which I bolted to a switch blank on the right hand side just below the vent(08 car)and a second hole in the blank was drilled to allow the wiring to run behind the dash.
I had to make up a flat plate as the Jimny is not blessed with room or flat surfaces. :dry:
Tomorrow,if time allows,I'll get the wiring sorted and fit the clutch switch.
After that I'll need to get underneath to fit the magnetic sensor to the propshaft.
That depends on weather/time. I'll try and get some pics tomorrow

can you not wire it up to the brake light switch or the brake pedal i rather put it on the brake pedal cos you dont alway put the clutch down when slowing down i think it would be much safer that way also manufactuers systems work that way

No problem it is also wired through the brake switch as standard and you get a switch to fit on the clutch:)

I need one of these!
