Forgive me for being a cynic, but having the ECU and radar is cool BUT .. the system applies the brakes on the 2010+ - and no matter how many ECU's you add in - the mechanical part is missing, the pre-2010's don't have forward alert and therefore I would assume they also have much simplified brake servos. If this mod involves messing with the braking system and the ABS (above plugging in an ECU) then the insurance will most certainly be voided or cost £££ Land Rover Addict

There shouldnt really be any braking work involved as the TR and HDC rely on something a bit more complex than ABS to apply a specific amount of braking pressure to slow a vehicle to a set speed without just habbing the brakes on. Having used this a lot of the last few months i know the HDC isn't perfect but is a bit more sensitive and even works in traffic FFRR MY06 facelift With TDV8 Alloys Zeros/ATR's

Just to be clear here, forward alert pumps the brake pressure up, so you only need a very light touch to stop, not a stomp on the pedal situation. I assumed (maybe wrongly) this was done with hydraulics .... Land Rover Addict

the ESC can do that to a certain extent but having extra braking force on demand isn't something I am really after as the FF is more than capable of locking its wheels with the average drivers foot pressure, especially as the harder you brake the more pressure you end up excreting on the pedal...
