Ah, gotcha. Don't think I'd bother fitting cruise though because I doubt if I'd use it much. Also, at some point I'd like to chop my current Omega in for a later higher spec model which will probably include cruise, just need to win a few quid on the lottery first! :D

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...

it is auto but still sounds too difficult to bother with

OK. I've got cruise on my new Omega, but just where are you ment to put your foot? It's not like the clutch where there is a space for it, do you just put it on the floor further back so you can steer with your right knee whilst making a cup of tea using those nice electric heated tea mugs avalible from all second rate service stations?

Have got cruise (ps sorry - posted on wrong answer - FBW didn't click when I first read it!), use it all the time, almost every day even if just doing local runs. tend to find it is a bit cheaper on fuel for constant speeds and obviously protects against speed cameras.

As for taking the fun out of it - rubbish, you only have to press the throttle down if you want to bring the fun back. If you want the full driving experience then don't use it, but if you feel like being lazy, you can just let the cruise deal with it. Only improvement I could wish for was an automatic with cruise but having a manual, you still have to do something every now and again.

You place the now redundant right foot alongside the left foot inside the big tartan slipper, light your pipe and relax!
