Default cruise control

i finally managed to go for a spin in my launch car today after it finally passing its mot, and i quite liked it!
even though this is now my 4th 75 or zt, id never had one before with cruise control. i absolutely love it!!
i got on the motorway to go to work, and in the 17 miles i was on it, i think i touched the pedal once! what a nice way to drive!

Id like to know this too because I have CC on both my Tourers and neither has ever worked (not while I've had 'em anyway).

How much did the bits cost? I think I have the loom to the switch on the switch panel or at least there was a loom going to it and I have cruise on the steering wheel. I have a manual CDTi.

Neither....They just needed pushed back into place....I spent all my time
trying to see them but the best thing is to trace the pedals to the top by touch.
The switch / sensor is right at the top....I found the best man for advice is Marinabrian

If you press the pedal down then trace the switches on the pedal with your fingers and press them down, then release the pedal you should hear slight clicking as the pedal returns.
