Just the casing, no. New internals in the fob, yes.

Bob, being a 2.0 you will need everything for cruise not just a stalk. Need to find a 2.0 CDX as a donor

[Bob G]

Yes the internals were a black soggy mess so new internals

I thought that as it is a facelift it would not need anything else, it does not have a throttle cable as illustrated in the how to section so assumed that all was well, obviously not  what else is needed)
Guess key will be a Newent job then I hope

[RobG]

Cruise motor with bowden cable, bracket on throttle body for the cable and ideally the mounting bracket for the cruise motor. You will only get this from a 2.0 CDX spec

You sure no throttle cable?

The gallery pics, at a glance, look like 2.2  :-/

Well two of us searched in vain today and can find nothing, assuming that we are looking in correct location, left of engine as you view from front, other person looking is ex AA and does know his stuff but we are prepared to be wrong

That confused me too. If his car has no throttle cable, where would the bowden cable of a cruise control kit fit?  :-?

agreed - no flame trap as per 2.0  :-/

[Jimbob]

ok...

why do you think its a 2.0?

pm me your reg please, Ill check what it should be 

[RobG]

2.0ltr. Look at OP`s engine pic in gallery

[Jimbob]

Well just checked, and this left VX with a 2 Litre.

X20XEV serial number 31105679


who knows whats happened since then  though

[Bob G]

pic of my engine in the gallery, i think that best way forward is to wait till newent and then let those in the know look, but i am blowed if i can see a throttle cable. 

[RobG]

It emerges from the bulkhead, you won`t see it at the throttle body unless you remove the air intake pipe (big black fat one on top of TB)

[Bob G]

ok Rob wil try that tommorow.
