Yep.  It cost me 5 beer tokens after a freindly chat with a mechanic 'round the back'.

I've heard that oil burners have cruise enabled from factory.  May be one of many urban myths.

No urban myth! The BMW 2.5's all seam to be enabled. No experience with the 2.2 DTi's

Well, it'll be interesting to see if 2.2dti's cruise is, in fact enabled, as suspected.

Keep us posted 2.2dti.

The 2.5TD tractors do not have the setting, so always enabled. The 2.2 diesel ECUs do have the setting, and generally not enabled...

Well typically work takes over and I havent had time to look in the footwell or anything else...tonight is my first chance to get back onto the forum!!

Just to clarify I was browsing ebay to see about these stalks do I need a 4 wire one??

many thanks...my thinking is that if I buy the stalk then I will have to make time to do something with it!! :)

Yes, 4 wire stalk for 2.2tdi, and it will likely need enabling via tech2
