Awesome retrofitted cruise to my current S3 - a lot cheaper than if I had ordered it from new from the factory and using exactly the same parts.

I doubt you'll find something on your doorstep. Manchester to Peterborough is only a 2hr drive, 130m or so.

Actually saying that, these guys will definitely do it...

Try APS in Brackley, Northants. Im sure they have done it in the past.

Mitchy260

Have you asked them?

There's not a lot that they dont do on VAG based cars, I'm surprised at that.

Trip to Manchester then

JBS in Chesterfield put cruise on my old Fabia vRS for me. Still a bit of a shlep for you though.

Tidgy

chesterfield will work, cos they can stay at ours the friday night or summit.

spoke to APS, seem to know what there on about, the car is a cross over period where depending on what engine it has will depend on if it can be fitted or not, i've given them the vin and there gonna get back to me when they've checked the system as to if it can or can't be done.

Reffro

In which case

cheers, abs have come back to me with £290 all in, which sounds pretty good to me

Sounds fair, I paid £200 all in for the retro fit on the Fabia vRS, but that was over 5 years ago.

I used a guy who trades under Hazzy Days Ltd to retrofit cruise to my A3.

I live in P'boro and he visited my house to do it. He books a few jobs in a day and travels round the country doing them. I looked at doing it myself but thebit of the job i could'nt do myself was the resetting of the steering angle sensor which needs a laptop and some know-how.

Cost me £200 and the guy was superb, told me exactly what he'd done and took me on a test drive to show me how it worked.

I can recommend Awesome GTi. I use them for servicing my wifes A3. Appreciate it's a bit far from P'boro though
