I see you're down as a possible for WIM

Mmm yes still possible  :-/

[Sir Sideways]

Anyone know if I would need a clutch switch since converting it to manual?

[alexandjen]

Would of thought so otherwise when you change gear the cruise will not disengage  

[MutantCav]

The question would be...does cruise still work since you converted?? If it does then in theory no you dont need it...the clutch switch cuts out the cruise when you change gear...no switch it stays on cruise until you brake, just like an auto...no idea though how that would affect the cruise control box...might send it incorrect signals or something...

Since I converted mine to a manual I've lost cruise, just need (a clutch switch??) and a nice person with a tech 2 to sort it in exchange for some beer tokens..............

I must admit, to show my ignorance, that I never knew a manual could have cruise control!  I suppose this is because I have only ever had cruise control with automatic cars!

Liz, even our DIESELS have cruise! How times change lol!

Disengaging the cruise via clutch doesn't work very well, it's a bit jerky and should only be used as a failsafe, like the brakeswitch.

Mutant, I think you are most probably correct about needing that clutch switch for the cruise to work for Sideways.

Well I've rewired the towing electrics today.
I've now wired the 7 core dieectly to the cars loom (the one provided in the boot)
I had a 7 way bypass relay originally and I thought this may have been the cause of my non functioning cruise as it stopped working around the same time.
I had scotch locked onto the brake feed originally but am now using the feed provided in the towing loom.
Wrong again.......It still doesn't work

Just to recap, I've now changed the stalk, brake switch and have unplugged the clutch switch wiring and bridged the connections to rule that out.
Is there anything else left to try other than a talk with Tech II?
