Title: Cruisin`.....
Post by: Debs. on 10 March 2008, 20:25:11
I got my cruise install finished and today I took the car for a quick test drive.....it`s brill!

I`m going to Brum tomorrow so I`ll be able to give the cruise-machine a good test on the M54/M6; as long as the traffic is actually moving!   ;)

P.S Thanks to Tunnie for supplying the cruise bits`n pieces I needed.  :y

Hey Debs,

I fancied fitting this to mine, so can you answer a few questions for me?

How much parts wise?

What did you need parts wise?

How long did it take you?

If you have a pre-facelift Omega (with a throttle cable, not DBW) then check out this helpful forum 'how-to' guide:

http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1166374649

Kits with all (or nearly all) the parts are going for between £30 to 50 on eBay.....or you could ask on the forum 'bits wanted' for the parts needed.

You need the cruise stalk, throttle-actuator, 4 terminal switch for brake pedal and if a manual-box a clutch switch too....that`s about it, all the wiring is already there, so it`s really a plug and play job: a good afternoon`s work or perhaps a day if you drink lots of tea/coffee and chat to mates.

If you have a Facelift Omega model; it`s even easier to fit....just buy the special (Facelift) cruise stalk and then have the car down to a forum member who can Tech-II enable cruise (or a dealer could do it if you don`t mind being 'taken').....there`s a Facelift Cruise 'how-to' for that in the maintenance guide too!

I`ve found it an easy-peasy job to fit..... :y

Not wishing to be pedantic  ;) but not all face lifts, it's just the drive-by-wire cars.
