With the correct cruise control stalk (2 wire) will a pre facelift stalk off a TD fit my facelift TD?
And what price would I expect to pay new from dealer?

£35 -£40

On the same sort of subject...can a non diesel cruise stalk with the 4 wires be used on a diesel with a little rewiring?? i.e. are the 2 wires needed on the 4 wire version?
-
Just fitted it to mine last week, works a treat.
Cost was £42, there is only one stalk available now (part number 9181012) Vx are low on stock just to give you warning, there will be 2 left now I've got mine!
I remember reading that the 2 wire and 4 wire are different, and not interchangable, a td must have the 2 wire stalk.
-
I took the stalk off my Pre-facelift Elite and fitted it to my Facelift CD that had no CC and it worked fine. Just swapped the stalks and away to go. :y
Dunno about the non diesel to diesel tho', but I wouldn't be surprised if it was as you say.

Found this info on another post, will explain why it doesnt work..
2.5TD stalk is 2 wire.....the standard stalks (i.e. petrol) are 4 wire as they have a supply line and 3 return lines, one for each switch.
The TD stalk works with a single wire thanks to the fact it has resistors in it so a different resistance is presented across the two wires depending on what switch you press.
The correct part number is 9181012 (as confirmed by my friendly and compitent parts manager)
-
Yup, 2.5 TD one is 2 wire, and based on resistor network. All other omegas use 4 wire ones, including the other diesels.
Not worth buying second hand stalks, after a few years, they become weak and start playing up.

That has answered a question for me, I tried a CC switch from a pre-facelift on my facelift Diesel, * it didn't work, at least I now know why. My old switch is OK but will not "tap down" otherwise it's fine.
I will find one in a scrappy one day, not paying Vx prices.

The £30 + VAT from dealer is worthwhile. 2nd hand ones tend not to last - been there, done that. Several times.

My used one has been fine for well over 18 months & cost me £10!!

Knowing that all tractors are at least 7yrs old, either yours had recently been replaced before car scrapped, or you are an unusual exception to rule.

The new ones feel a lot smoother to use, both father & mother tunnies have brand new ones, they are lot nicer to use, make less noise.
I got mine for a tenner from a scrappy, half tempted to put a brand new one on mine, and sell the old one on fleabay.

You would not be the first to remark that I am 'unusual'

Well after reading on here various comments decided to go with a new one, and it works a treat. Only downside cost me £40 + vat. My old stalk was on it's way out anyway, it was buzzing when I used it as if something was shorting in the contacts. Enquired about this one http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=380061666185&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=025 and he stuck it up for me to buy, bit pricey though for secondhand, off a "P" reg TD, he did originally have it on for £24.95 for 2 days.......not for me.....anyone?
