What are the chances of me being able to put a cruise control stalk on my S reg 2.5TD CD and it working straight away?

100% if you get the right stalk,the one with two wires :y

Thanks Charlie, i'll keep a look out :) :y

If you get 2 wire one, its guaranteed to work straight away. Don't buy second hand, get a brand new genuine stalk, second hand is false economy, they tend to fail. New ones feel lot nicer to use as well

Depends how much a new one is lol.  Its for a car I'm not keeping, but hoping to make it a little more sellable..

if your selling, then chuck any old 2 wire cruise on in. If you were keeping it then get new

I'll be keeping only until I've bought a suitable replacement estate..

i paid £48.65 from the local stealers in december. it was literally ;) :) plug and play !

Just a stalk....

Do I not need a clutch switch then???

I've just had a look for the GM part number for the TD cruise stalk for you.
It's on the box in the garage, I put the old one back in the box.
Sods law, I  can't find it right now, Will have another look for it tomorrow. That's if someone doesn't come up with it beforehand ::)

Must sort that b****y garage out :-[

No.
Just swap the stalk and your away.
Easiest mod I've done to my TD.

And to add.....And enabled automatically in the ECU.
No Tech2 required.

All manual TD's i have seen already had them fitted

TD stalk has same part number as normal cruise stalk, but ends in 012 rather than 011
