A stalk will probably work better than a Stork - they tend to smell of fish! ;D ;D

you need to find out if your model is drive by wire or cable, on lower spec models to keep the cost down the drive by wire was taken out and traditionally cable throttle control put in..

Its worth dropping into vx and getting them to quote for your car just to see what you will need to put cruise in...

Worst case you need everything with a price tag of around £500.

Good Luck

I seem to remember one of our overseas members didn't have the loom fitted.  If memeory serves correctly this was on an early 8v unit.


If there a multiplug on the top of the strut inside the engine bay?  That's where VX tie them up if the unit is not fitted.  Check if it is there.  If not then I'd think your loom does not have the wiring.  That would put it in the too difficult camp
