facelift & prefacelift isn't what's different, it's whether it's drive-by-wire throttle or not that makes the difference.  :y

Drive by wire?

Dont you mean Flyby Wire?

If thats the question then its not a Flyby Wire!!!!

Whatever!  ::) ;) I was making the point that facelift or preface lift was irrelevant .... whether you had a throttle cable was! ;)

Just bolt it onto the inner wing & plug it  ..... isn't it?  :-?  :y I've never looked for a How 2 ....  ;)

Mines got a throttle cable matey if that helps

Mines got 2 studs under the header tank is this where it bolts? And there is a cable plug that fits it situated on top of the same strut mount. The stalk is in. What do i do with the brake switch?

Replace your existing one with it

Swap one for the other. My brake switch has 2 sets of contacts inside, I assume a none cruise car will only have the one  :-/
Yes the 2 studs on your inner wing are for the cruise to be bolted down with  :y  :y

As Andy says, its engines that are important, not if its a facelift or not....

3.0 facelift, no tech2, 3.2, tech2  :y

Cheers guys, i will try it tomorrow and let you all know how it goes.

Do i have to add any fuses or anything seeing its a new electric system added?

Nope, just plug it all in and it works  :y

So if the standard one has 1 contact and the one im fitting has 2 do i have to connect an additional wire? Or does the standard one allready have 2 wires in it?

I would imagine that the loom to the existing brake switch already has 4 wires in it.

Right everyone

Its all installed, control unit in the engine bay and connected, thottle cable connected, brake switch is in and brake lights working as they should but still the cruise control doesnt

Is there a fuse that needs to be put in or something?

I don't know about a fuse, but it's possible to not have a working cruise if  you don't fit the new brake switch correctly ......apparently!  ::)  ::)

what speed are you trying it at?

it should be 18mph or faster...

but strangely in our 98 manual 3.0 mv6, it only works MUCH faster :-/

Throttle cable too slack?  :-/

nothing visible causing it....gonna tech2 it at some point looking for a reason, possibley a 2.0 kit or something...

we only tend to use it on motorway, so not really much of an issue

Is there a way of tightening the cruise control cable?
