Hiya Guys,
I'm thinking about doing a tech article on how to retro fit the cruise control system as this seems to be a popular upgrade.

1. Does anyone have any tips/ problems encountered when doing this upgrade?

2. Does anyone have any photos from any point of their fitting as I didn't take any when I did mine.
Cheers

Nice to see someone being brief and to the point, also nice to see you got around the *** thing that everyone else puts up with, on the other hand, the perks of hte job isn't it.

Ah I getcha Bill, yeah it doesn't seem to censor me out :wink:

Ian, don't bother with cruise, I fitted it to mine and never EVER use it, I get bored too easilly, might well remove it because it's getting right in the way of my strut brace now.
