That's cruise control, it's the extra throttle cable and actuator!

Remove the cruise and put it on your other car?
Or put the cruise on e-bay, they normally fetch good money.

The other car is sold and should be getting collected tomorrow. Is it a big job to remove the cruise control completely?

You're sacrificing cruise control for a strut brace?!

No, not at all, unplug the actuator at the large plug above the glovebox, unbolt it all, pull out the wiring loom, unscrew the stalk, remove the large silver control unit, and the clutch switch, job done.Steviec wrote:The other car is sold and should be getting collected tomorrow.

Im not a fan of cruise control, if anything I think its dangerous. Besides, I cant remember the last time I was able to do a constant speed on any stretch of road!datourer wrote:You're sacrificing cruise control for a strut brace?!

Steviec,
I'm after a cruise control unit for my 325i
If it works and you want to flog it they normally get Ԛ£50 - 60 on ebay I believe. Here's one that sold last week and I forgot to bid on!

I'd be be very willing to take it off your hands if you decide to sell it!

They normally get around Ԛ£100, but it seems from the one in the link that they have dropped in price, I've sold a kit on e-bay for Ԛ£115, but this was about 2 years ago though!Steviec wrote:Thanks Simon. Dont suppose you know the kind of price they fetch do ya? (ie, is it worth while removing it).
