....spent most of yesterday in Conrad Andersons in Birmingham, having my cruise control reinstalled in my T2 (stripped it out of my old truck when her indoors took it on).....

..and what a delight

....90 miles back to Oxford with my feet on the dashboard!

All set now for the 1000-mile return trip to the french gaff to re-start renovations after my ladder antics

What make have you got? Any pics?

No pics, but its these...

with one of these...

I had the AP300 in my MkII for about seven years and just had it transplanted into the MkIV with a new stalk. So although expensive when I bought it, its paid for itself over the years. I do a lot of motorway, especially down to SW France and back and at 6'3", I used to get really bad back problems after 10-12 solid hours of driving with my foot jammed in one position all the time....but this fixed all of that.

As you see from the spec, it functions exactly the same as an OEM CC....the only change on this truck (my last was an auto) was the fitment of a clutch switch which disengages cruise if the clutch is depressed (as well as all the other usual cutouts).

I'd highly recommend it to anyone who does high mileages.

How did they use a mechanical actuator on your fly by wire pedal?

Surely the electronic actuator would be the easiest to set up?
