Nice, How much grief is the cruise control fitting?

do you need any parts other than the steering wheel?

Headache.

I read a few guides, including the rosstech guide of which steering module to get, but it was not correct.
If you don't know how to do it, take your van to Bellman's auto electronics services in Sheffield.

Forums and Facebook are loaded with guys who claim to be able to do this, but I'm glad I picked Chris.

This guy knows his shit, not just about cruise control, but about everything, the guy is a VCDS, ODIS and VW wizard.

He also cuts and programs keys, so I got a spare at a brilliant price while I was there as I only got one with the van.

Shaped a rubber mat for it, installed some racking, and still have loads of space for the toughsystem 2.0 toolboxes and mft in the side doors.

Thanks for that, Sheffield is 2 hours from here but i'd sooner drive to somewhere to get a proper job done.

Cob tape lighting, natural white, a strip above each shelf, and one each side front to back above the shelving.

All controlled from the original switch, which was relocated towards the back of the van.

I can't take the credit for this picture, I found it somewhere on here, this works well.

I extended the original switch wiring to the back doors, and connected it back up as standard.

The positive and negative cables in the picture are split and run to the back of each rack near the side doors, these are housed into wiska boxes that are screwed to the back of each rack.

There are cob strip lights above every shelf, and the top one is bolted to the roof, each positive and negative cable for these run to the wiska boxes where they join the new switch wiring in Wago connectors.
