Right, the display is saying they is a problem with your HIDs. Only a 97 car should have HIDs  :-/

Is the last letter in your VIN a V or a W?

If you do have HIDs, its telling you the auto levelling of the headlights has failed, normally a sensor problem (1 on NSF wishbone, other on NSR trailing arm).

For the cruise, is it petrol or diesel?  If its a petrol, there is a seperate actuator and second throttle cable - can you check still there?  If diesel, the throttle is electronic.

98 model year then (mini facelift), so will have HIDs.  Check the sensors on the NSF wishbone and the NSR trialing arm.  Somethings they become unclipped.

Thats OK, manufacturers tend to release the new 'model year' late in previous year...

You'll probably have to wait till tomorrow for an answer, as the 'A' team are on a visit to Drax Power Station today.

regarding the cruise, you might want to look at the following thread

http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1170492943

on page 2 I posted my pin readouts (admittedly from a manual but you should get the same from an auto except for the clutch switch action.)

Take the cruise multiplug from the top of the actuator and read the pin voltages with a multimeter.  this will confirm whether the unit is getting the correct power feeds.    Also when you are down there, take the cruise cable off the top of the actuator.  You should be able to twist the cable sheath off by 1/4 turn and pull it up by a small amount.  If you do this you should see a yellow canvas strip joining the cable to the mechanism of the actuator.  Without this it will not work

Good luck

Hi, this might seem like a daft question but you are pressing the right part of the button? It is the dimple at the back of the top button to set the cruise, the hollow at the front is to reduce your speed when cruise is engaged, the ribbed piece below is to disengage the cruise.
