Second test drive done today (in town).
I didn't expect it to work that way without a T4 session.
I found a thread by bigruss42 on
mg-rover.org where he describes his retrofitted cruise control funcionality prior to having the car T4'd:

Press and hold Set - increases cruise speed until released.
Use accelerator for less than 30 secs - cruise resumes at previous speed.
Brake and clutch switches work as they should - suspends cruise.
Press Res.- suspends cruise.
Press Set - cruise resumes at current speed
Press RES. twice - cancels cruise, light goes out, can then only be reset by the master switch.

My cruise control works in a different way:
Cruise can be enabled at ~38 km/h (my speedometer over reads by ca 12% so it's actually ~34 km/h or ~21 mph).
Press master switch - no warning light on dash.
Press Set - warning light comes on, cruise set at current speed.
Repeatedly press Set - incrementally increases cruise speed.
Press and hold Set - increases cruise speed until released.
Use accelerator for less than 30 secs - cruise resumes at previous speed. (haven't tried actually)
Brake and clutch switches work as they should - suspends cruise.
Press Res. - warning light goes off, suspends cruise.
Press Res. again - warning light comes on, resumes cruise at previous speed.
etc
Can't say I'm not happy
Only one thing missing from perfect, there should be a "-" button for decreasing speed. Why did they even put the dummy middle button in there? Just so it would be symmetrical with the ICE buttons?
