Don't use cruise in Belgium, it is illegal.  How the police know you are using it is beyond me. Great tool for alert, competent drivers.

The EU has agreed cross border assistance on miscreant drivers.

France will so exactly what they want (as usual).
Spain will be aware of it but as usual not give a damn.
Germany will be too busy with immigrants.
Britain will employ an army of people to stomp on all miscreants(abroad or at home, foreigners or Brits)

good luck, olive

They have no way of telling, anyway seems like a good reason to bypass Belgium.

[size=20]No it's not![/size] Another case of Chinese Whispers.
Cruise control has been banned on Belgian motorways at times of congestion in a bid to cut accidents. It's obviouse to most normal drivers that cruise is virtually impossible to use on any kind of busy road anyway.

Ok then I tried using the cruise control as suggested previously and nothing happened???

Tried pushing the raised button to increase speed nothing

Tried pushing the indent button nothing

Tried pushing the button below nothing...

I had my foot off both pedals while fiddling with them so that wouldn’t be interfering

Any Ideas?

Can you check that you have 2 throttle cables, and report back...

Locate the throttle body - the bit where both big rubber pipes go into.  On left should be a throttle cable. There should be 2 if you have cruise...

Hi Snapz.

The engine end of the throttle cables should look like this if thers cruise fitted, but the circular clip should be snapped in place.

At what speed did you try to activate the cruise control? It will only work above 24mph.

OK, follow one of the cables back to the actuator (other cable goes through bulkhead into cabin). When you have found actuator, follow the electrical cable up to connector - is it plugged in?

Check brake switch is a 4 pin one, not 2 pin.

If auto, check clutch switch is still there.

Failing that, check the stalk - it should be the 4 wire version, not the 2 wire one from 2.5TD

To do the pedal switches, you need to get under there, remove the card cover, and it should be apparent.

The stalk, remove the upper couling (ignore haynes, the wheel does NOT need to come off!) and remove stalk, and check the little flylead...
