Summat our Elite has that I'd like on my MV6 is cruise control.
Is it just the stalk then hook up to Tech 2, or more than that?
Mine is a 2.6, 2001 car.

Should be, on the pre/mini facelift cars its a separate module but was changed on the facelifted cars.

Its engines, not the fact its a facelift thats important.

Being a 2.6 its DBW and so you can just fit a replacement stalk, clutch switch if its a manual & and a chat with tech2

It's an auto - is there a switch on the brake pedal?

I know a friendly techie at a local stealers, so no Tech 2 worries!

DBW - drive by wire I take it?
I've not even looked to see if there's a throttle cable to be honest.

Different switch I believe, an extra pair of wires for the auto.

You won't find one cos there ain't one! 

[pedroMV6]

Are all 2.6 and 3.2 DBW then?

Also, why the increase in capacity?
More Ecowreck stuff so extra ponies needed or summat?

Yes!

Err? Probably  :-/  :-/

[pedroMV6]

So, brake light switch and connect to already present wires, fit cruise stalk, chat with tech 2 and job's a good un, yeah?

[TheBoy]

dbw will already have correct brake switch, unlike non dbw cars

Not false economy at all - a new one won't work any better and someone off here could well be up a few quid - part of the reason this forum exists is to help other members, surely?
York Vx main stealer will never see me darken their door again anyway.

No, it is. They are £35 brand new.

I got a second hand one from a scrappy for a tenner, it was horrible to use. Brand news ones have a much nicer feel than earlier ones, none of that horrible clunking.

Perhaps we'll agree to disagree.
