Title: cruise control?
Post by: mick-1975 on 10 July 2013, 21:33:23

Evening everyone I have just picked up my new omega estate 2.2 manual CD . Anyway going to be cleaning it in morning so photos to come . Just a question about the cruise control there is none on the indicator stalk . I was wondering if I changed the stalk over will the cruise control connector be there and would work or mould I have to add some wiring to the car ?

Wiring there for cruise stalk, but you will need it activating with a Tech 2 ;)

Cruise not terribly useful on manual cars IMO, particularly if you use it to maintain speed limits. :-\ :-\ :-\ :y

Being a manual an' all, you'll need a clutch switch as well as the stalk :y about £80 for both new from VX :y

Cruise works just as well on a manual car imho ::)

I should have said, urban speed limits, sometimes as low as 20mph. :y
