I know However I think you'll find that pre-2010 L322's don't have the bits required for ACC, remember that the D3 and Sport are built on the same T5 chassis and as such share the ability to have ACC as this was available from release for the Sport Land Rover Addict

Erm Will, I think you mean exerting OK, as regard whether or not it fits, the main pointer will be what exists in the CCF file. If the option is there then there is a chance. Most of the ECUs and electronic stuff on post 06 FFRRs are Ford based and this includes HDC which is probably the most critical one. Remember that HDC was available on Disco-2 way back before BMW even got involved. It's the bit which actuates the brakes, or at least, it is on the Sport, and indeed was the same on my old Merc E500. First things first though, we need to see an example of a CCF file from a FFRR 06-09 model. Unless it's an option there's pretty much zero hope. As regards the functionality, it's nice to have but does have some challenges. Doesn't like heavy spray on the motorway, it's a nuisance if you get some jerk pull into your braking gap as so often happens these days and it is not too good on A roads with traffic coming towards you, albeit on the other side of the road. Speaking personally I much prefer normal CC. Now, if there was a way to have it but revert back to normal CC by turning off ACC then that would be of interest. |

IIRC on the 2011 SSRR I had it can be turned off and normal CC used. As I cover a few miles now it would be nice as I tend to pootle on the inside lane behind the arctics so acc would be nice.

Good luck with your insurers when you plough through the back of a Corsa on the motorway. |
