I got my cruise kit from U.S ebay for $90 + postage, being left hand drive I had to mod the loom a bit but it all fits and works perfectly.

I'd hate to drive distance without it now :cool:

I found my last to sets in the brakers yard so you may be lucky if you phone round. You have to be carefull and try and make sure it works.

It mounts near the air flow meter ( where the air flow meter would be on you car) The cable clips on to the throttle there shouldnt be anything that breaks.

You'll need to saw out the U shaped part in the lower steering column cover, the correct shape is marked on the inside for you.

The clutch switch bracket is a bit of a fiddle but it only took me about 2 hours to fit the lot.

You'll notice the plastic clip on the cruise cable is broken :roll: my kit came with a grotty cable bracket and it broke when i tried to prise it out :x

Thanks guys :thumb: i have managed to get myself a kit from The U.S hopefully it should be winging its way over to me shortly.

Iain was just wondering what mods you had to do inorder for it to work with your car as this kit is also from a left hand drive car.

Cheers guys
