I have a A4 B8 2.0T 211 with stop start and manual box. The car doesn't have cruise as standard.
I have 'phoned a couple of places about having it fitted.

So far Shark performance at Mansfield have said they can't help me with this particular car.
I am currently waiting for JBS at Chesterfield to get back to me.

It seems it is not as straightforward with this particular model as with others.
Can anyone help?I am in Sheffield but willing to travel within reason.

What year is it?

You will need a new indicator, wiper and cruise stalk as they are part of one unit.

Been quoted £261 all in by JBS at Chesterfield.
Is this a good price?

That's a good price if they're using new parts.

New part on eBay is £202

I had the same problem with my 2010 A4 SE. After getting some ridiculous quotes from Audi dealers I was recommended to contact Hazzy Dayz in Luton http://www.vwcruise.com/
They operate a mobile service, visited me in Cheltenham and fitted the cruise control will all genuine VAG parts. I think the price was similar to your quote from Chesterfield. I have no connection to Hazzy Dayz but would not hesitate to recommend them.
