ccrt700 can be problematic.  Disconnecting power for a few hours (you will need the code!) can help.

Also his MV6 has no cruise control  :-?

Would this just be the case of getting stalk fitted or is there more involved???

no more stuff needed, 3.0 is cable driven, so needs to actuator and other bits and bobs.

MV6 never came with cruise as standard.

Yours is a 2.6 drive-by-wire and throttle / cruise is controlled by ECU, prefacelift will mean its a 3.0, and has a standard cable driven throttle body.

More required  ;)

The microphone in my interior light had been pushed up into the headlining so if it doesn't work straight off try having a look up there for it!

Just stalk needed on 2.2 / 2.5 TD / 2.6 V6 / 3.2 V6

Not sure - check maint guides section.  But its easy anyway, though some MV6s have extra coolant pumps which need moving slightly

Ok will look into this when belt and drain holes are sorted, thanks for the help though, will get looking into this right away!

Mine seems similar (I'm awaiting a seat controller) if I disconnect the seat - large mutliway cable and then reconnect, the seat opeates fine for ~10 mins.

Is your's the same?
