Easy enough job,,,,

guides in the maint section.

You need a new stalk, brake (and clutch? switch) and the actuator motor and cable  :y

Guide for facelift is here:-

Looks like you need it "Tweaking" with Tech 2 though.

Not with 3.0

Tech2 only needed on electronic throttle bodies (2.2/2.6/3.2)

2.5TD's have it already enabled.

So I could fit it on my 2.5 GLS Auto then no probs  Would it need Tech2?

Yes it will fit, no need for tech2  :y

and it is well worth fitting even on a manual!  I've never looked back, both makes crusing more relaxing and reduces the chances of a speeding ticket

retail mv6 have extra electric pump - you'll have to modify its mounting slightly
