General Discussion Area / Re: Cruise - Pedal Switches

« on: 04 February 2007, 16:37:20 »

Been fitting cruise to my '99 2.5V6 Manual.  Definitely has 4 pin brake multiplug with all cables in it.  

Did work with 2 pin brake switch in place with a rather ominous clunk when brake switch pressed.  I suspect that a 2 pin brake switch causes something to happen with the ABS unit that does something with the cruise module.

The colours on my wiring loom do not agree with Haynes however....

I'm surprised it passed MOT with odd springs

I'm not!  I use a local Vx dealer for MOT (convenient for me, no other reason) and they completely failed to spot a broken spring - it was missing a fair chunk as well!

lower the suspension?  I think I'd need to take the wheels off and then give her a set of steps.............

Yep first test and we have not found an instructor to knock  the rough edges off yet.  when we do I think it will be quite a difference pootling around in a 1litre corsa to the meega unless I can find and instrutor that has seen the light and doesn't mind the fuel bills.

I see your point - two barges to spend vast amounts of money and time to keep on the road............

Not ready for the test yet but not got too far to go I think.

Having said that she did turn to me and say today that it wasn't as good as a Volvo.  Sent me into a bit of a sulk and made we wonder whether I should change her for another model (present squeeze that is not the meega).  

The other problem I have is that at 4ft 12 it is impossible for her to wash the car properly.  I guess one of those car wash mops on a long handle will do for christmas.....

True but she hasn't quite got the hang of controlling a barge in a car park yet.  Not doing the blood pressure any good.  

Still roll on when she passes her test - I can give her my 2.5 manual and treat myself to a 3.2 MV6......

How Much!! Are you living in the car theft capital of the world?

Yes, he is

No bells and whistles with mine, just a free tax disc holder I think

£370 for me and that's with the present squeeze on there as a learner.  your should see the looks she get- she 4ft 12 on a good day learning in a meega....
