When I said "looks like new" thats what i assume it is, sealed in plastic, in the box, I am just surprised that I would get one (new?) for that price, either way I have now got cruise at a bargin price, no pedal switches or "real" tech2 work needed.  :y

Interesting  :-? No tech 2 required!

Where did you get the stalk from alan? Tis quite a nice feeling when you get a new 'toy' to play with  ;D

I love The Boy, ever the optimist! :D

From this ebay shop:

i could have waited or looked for secondhand items, but could not wait.  It seems that all the diesel cars have cruise enabled?  :)

2.5TD is enabled - or rather there is no setting (on a 2.5TD the ecu actually constantly stores an error that the stalk is missing on non cruise cars).

The 2.0DTi/2.2DTi - not done on Omega, but have on other cars such as Astra-G/Zaffy etc, and had to enable...

I'll have to see if M_DTM has done a 2.2DTi Omega yet.

^^^^^^^^^
You can't just say they don't last!  ;D

It depends how they're used! I know a bloke who has cruise fitted in his 2000 3.0 Estate, done 35k and he's never switched the cruise on!

My second hand stalk has lasted 2 years, it's shiny, barely any writing but it works ok!

We'll see!

VX got a bit protective when asked to fit the cruise on ours. Came back and said they couldn't do it. Thought i'd try it meself one day, bingo, plug and play! Thought they had enabled it at the garage though!?!

I foolishly bought a 2nd hand one for my CD, it now doesnt always (about 90% of the time) cancel the indicator on a left turn.......never had a prob with full beam tho....

When i get round to it i will replace with new this time  :y
