Omega General Help / Do vauxhall have any clue at all ??

« on: 10 February 2009, 15:33:13 »

follwing on from my post a bit back about me toying with the idea of fitting cruise control to MV6.

i went to a vauxhall garage to get a rough i dea things would cost if i wanted new items instead of searching for them on ebay.
from the knowledge of what i have gathered from this forum (which is FANTASTIC) i went to price up for a indicator stick with cruise, ecu and cable, and clutch switch etc...

the guy behind the counter started to confuse me when he asked if i had a clutch swith in already. (i have no clue if i do)
and i asked about the ecu and cable. his reply was that i dont need the ecu and cable. said something about the main ecu can be remapped to use the cruise.

now im not all thbat clever on mechanics but i thought the whole point of the cable was to control how much acceleratiion the cruise would need to increase/decrease your set speed.

and then went on to say that if i dont have a clutch switch in already. i need to make sure the wiring loom has the adaptor to fit one.

overall he said about £80-£90 plus about £60 to remap my ecu.

any ideas from anyone if this sounds about right.
