The Boy is that right that the 8v dont have the cc loom fitted
No idea, only ever seen 1 8v before, and didn't look for loom.  Doubt Vx would use a specific loom for that particular engine (other than the actual engine loom).

Does it have the large 10 pin connector bolted to the drivers side suspension turret?

best guess then is that the 8v was fitted with a loom not set up for cruise control then.  sorry but I think it will be a big job to fit to your car

I seem to remember one of our overseas members didn't have the loom fitted.  If memeory serves correctly this was on an early 8v unit.
I might be the oversea member!

Well, I have built a Vectra/Omega CC into my Cavalier. The Cavalier is without the the loom, as a CC has never been part of the org. equipment. So I made it myself  :)

**Should** be possible to fit still, be a PITA though.

Check the wiring diagram (Haynes) and make up the missing looms.

Fart Pilot - this brings up all sorts of images :o

Actually looks like a joke name for cruise control.

Never come across one yet that doesn't have the loom fitted.

The 97 V6 GLS estate I have doesnt have the cruise loom, nor the connections behind the fusebox for front fogs, rear leccy windows or cd changer connector in footwell.

The wiring to the B post should normally have 13 wires (works motors for elites etc and blowers) this car only has 9 wires.

I remember my M reg Select estate (16v) was the same, no puddle wiring on that one either. the V6 has tho.

:) I had a feeling this would come up!
A city in Denmark has the name "Middelfart" ~ Middle fart  ;D

"fart" doesn't have the same meaning in danish as in english.
"fart" means speed, pace, move.

So fartpilot is still the same as cruise control  ;)
