you have two buttons to activate.
Under the clock is a button with 2 squiggly lines which activates the system, you then have your steering wheel buttons which allow you to turn on/off etc by pulling towards you.

Looking at it that car doesnt have cruise control.

That is odd - this car does not seem to have cruise control - I understood all Disco Update V8s had cruise - my 94 models certainly did and they were base models. I knew that the earlier diesels didn't have cruise but thought all V8s did.

At a guess maybe it does not have it due to its a manual ?

This must be a very base model, and looking at it, its does not have cruise control. Theres no buttons on the wheel to activate it. and no actuator in the engine bay either. ( and oddly it doesnt have airbags) It has steel wheels, just about every Disco that came out in 97 had alloys.

Nothing - all disco v8s are V8is.

I thought discos about this time period came out in S, SE versions - this would seem to be a S.

I have a 1994 base model V8 manual with cruise control, six seats and mags :)

However there were plenty of base models of any year between 94 and 99 that had steel wheels and no cruise control when I was looking.

I even saw one V8 manual 1996 that had no cruise, steel wheels and dual airbags :? No ABS that seems to go with dual airbags either.
