Title: cruise control
Post by: UrbanFox on 28 March 2010, 14:26:42

What are the chances of me being able to put a cruise control stalk on my S reg 2.5TD CD and it working straight away?

If you get 2 wire one, its guaranteed to work straight away. Don't buy second hand, get a brand new genuine stalk, second hand is false economy, they tend to fail. New ones feel lot nicer to use as well

Depends how much a new one is lol.  Its for a car I'm not keeping, but hoping to make it a little more sellable..

if your selling, then chuck any old 2 wire cruise on in. If you were keeping it then get new

I've just had a look for the GM part number for the TD cruise stalk for you.
It's on the box in the garage, I put the old one back in the box.
Sods law, I  can't find it right now, Will have another look for it tomorrow. That's if someone doesn't come up with it beforehand ::)

Must sort that b****y garage out :-[

Mick ;)

No.
Just swap the stalk and your away.
Easiest mod I've done to my TD.

And to add.....And enabled automatically in the ECU.
No Tech2 required.

TD stalk has same part number as normal cruise stalk, but ends in 012 rather than 011
