facelift & prefacelift isn't what's different, it's whether it's drive-by-wire throttle or not that makes the difference.  :y

Whatever!  ::) ;) I was making the point that facelift or preface lift was irrelevant .... whether you had a throttle cable was! ;)

Mines got a throttle cable matey if that helps

Mines got 2 studs under the header tank is this where it bolts? And there is a cable plug that fits it situated on top of the same strut mount. The stalk is in. What do i do with the brake switch?

Swap one for the other. My brake switch has 2 sets of contacts inside, I assume a none cruise car will only have the one  :-/
Yes the 2 studs on your inner wing are for the cruise to be bolted down with  :y  :y

As Andy says, its engines that are important, not if its a facelift or not....

3.0 facelift, no tech2, 3.2, tech2  :y

I would imagine that the loom to the existing brake switch already has 4 wires in it.

I don't know about a fuse, but it's possible to not have a working cruise if  you don't fit the new brake switch correctly ......apparently!  ::)  ::)
