Hi peeps just having a browse around vxonline and came across this

[/Quote\] If you want cruise control on your car, all you need to do is seach for "vectra indicator stalk" on ebay, ensure you buy one with the cruise buttons on it (you should pay between £10 and £20) and all you need is a phillips screw driver to undo 5 screws around your steering column cowling, unclip your old indicator stalk from its mount, take off the electrical connector from the rear, put your new one in in reverse and connect up the cruise to the blanked off female socket immediately underneath the upper cowling and replace everything. Total job time is about 10 minutes, costs about £20 max and you got cruise control!!! This mod was done to the SRi 130 Dti model on a 51 plate....should work on others. Check by taking off your cowelling. If you see 2 blue torpedo like electrical connectors, one thats connected and the other thats connected to nithing, it will work for you! Best find of the year by far!! )[/Unquote\]

Now is this guy just a complete retard or is he on to something
If this is an option can it be done on my Mig

Admin if in wrong area sorry and please relocate as required

thats all good on a fly by wire set up, but still need a 4 pin brake switch and if not auto a clutch pedle switch, if non fly by wire you need the cruise control module that bolts to the os of engine bay below abs unit, wire should be in loom as standard

Mines an auto and its got a cable being a 2.5 v6 elite prefacelift but seems quite a lot more work than was first described but hey ho

Just plug & play as long as you have all the bits to do so.

answers that one, even though i did remember seeing a post by the boy i think it was saying the fly by wire needs to be turned on by tech2

Shouldn't mine have it being an elite prefacelift

Yup it should, all mini-facelift ones did (post 1998.5 onwards) not sure on pre-mini facelift 

Would have thought so!

Indicator stalk will have buttons on it if it does, else someone might have removed the stalk. Have you checked to see if you have the cruise cable on the plenum?

I've just checked and it's all there the reason I couldn't use it is because my cruise control cable is snapped at plenum end im off to buy a new one OOF does it again thanx everyone

[tunnie]

What part is snapped? Picture maybe?

Not heard of one snapping

And for the love of God, do not buy 2nd hand cruise stalks, unless its a fiver. They fail with age (main beam comes on every time you brake).

Anyone charging £20 for a 2nd hand cruise stalk is a greedy barsteward.  You can get pattern stalks for around £20, but these have an awful feel IME.
