Don't know the engine, but if DBW, it probably hasn't the code in the ecu to run cruise.  If cable driven, unless Corsas were ever fitted with cruise, may be easier just to get an aftermarket cruise kit.

Adding to that, a 1.6 (?) manual is never going to be that good on cruise, except on a steady motorway run - not the usual journey I suspect for Corsas....  :-/

Cruise is pretty easy to sort on a Corsa C although you do sometimes have to add a few wires......much harder on a Corsa B !

If its a B, youd need to have a later model with electronic speedo, or if its an earlier one (GSi spec around 95) then you'd need ABS to get some sort of signal in regards to speed for the cruise.

You also then have the fun of routing the actuator cable, finding where to attach it to the throttle...  Then all the wiring to go with it (clutch switch & brake switch) which will be none-standard fitments so will need more work to fit...

As said, bit of a hard job, 'can' be done, but not really worth it.
