I think that cruise spoils the driving experience ::)
Sort of agree, but sometimes I don''t want to drive, I just want easy journey. Also use in 30mph zones to help keep speed down...

Now I am a bit confused.

Is my 2000 W reg MV6 enabled. ie can I just get a different indicator stalk with cruise buttons and plug it in?

If its a 3.0l then you need the actuator, cable, stalk, brake switch and clutch switch if manual...

I don't see why the MV6 couldn't be enabled.

I think there's an urban myth about this pre-enabled lark.  Why would some be pre-enabled?

I think it's because the diesels are ALL pre-enabled (aren't they?) and after adding the effects of Chineese whispers, the rumour has spread.  



Edit.  Of course.  The 3.0 is not FBW.  The 2.6 and 3.2 is.

Mine sure as hell hasn't got it - used to work on a cruise ship once though.....does that count? ;)

I don't actually know if my cars rigged for cruise control or not - how would I find out?

Being a non DBW, it has no concept of being enabled. Add all the bits, and it will work.

I put mine into sports mode to hold it in a lower gear, especially if going downhill in a 30 with speed cameras about.
