IMHO the best supplier is Ultimate Engineering.
Well made and speed related so it is not over sensitive as you only need it at slow speed.
Had mine 3 years with no problems.
Make sure you tell your insurance company.

Yep, same for us.

Just about to sell our van - it's had the Ultimate Engineering kit on it for 6 years plus.

That big gorgeous LT?  

I still have your ramps in my garage, that I borrowed about a zillion years ago to swap my gearbox over.  We should make a plan to get those back to you :)

Just had power steering done by Tim at Ultimate Engineering in Bristol - transformed the driving experience, especially the slow speed stuff, 100% a good decision and Tim was super helpful, even running my Son & I over to the Zoo and picking us up again at the end of the day.

Would recommend.
