There's an engine ECU update for the V6 DBW engines that has cruise control mentioned in the improvements. I'm not sure if that's also the case for the 2.2. Don't recall seeing many V6s that aren't on the latest version anyway (although I don't normally look that hard) IIRC, my 52 plate V6 was already on the latest.

When you enabled my CC, there was an engine update incorporation with CC

Now you mention it, I think we did find an update for the engine.

I will add that to the list of things I need to come and see you are your Tech2 about then :-)

Correct Kevin, the update for the engine came AFTER CC enable  (bearing in mind, you updated the gearbox too)

As other say, it can speed up down hills.

At 60, approaching a steep incline in top gear, its not really in its power band, so may loose a bit of speed, before kicking down a gear...

Yep, gearbox is reluctant to change down at around that speed too, I find, so cruise control gives it a fair bit of throttle trying to pull through the flat spot then it takes off like a bat out of hell once it does change down.

The bagpipes and associated control flaps do a fair job of smoothing out the flat spots. It might be worth checking that the vacuum hoses are connected correctly and the flaps operating

Shame we didn't do a "before and after" check of the CC to see if the update made any difference.

That is true. But as said above, mine suffers from the same thing, looses a couple of mph on an incline before kicking down and getting back to speed. Im happy with it though

Ahh, yes. Must pay attention.
