P38A Fixing my Cruise Control...maybe.

Not necessarily, mine stopped working, pulled it out to test wires, put it back in and it's been fine ever since.

I found the relay and after spending months trying to find why I didn't have bellows and vacuum pipes. Then Wammer's let me know that diesel's have the CC in the ECU. I took a punt on a £9 relay from ebay and all is good

Congrats! Still have not sorted mine out. It's on my to-do list ;-)
I have all the parts....I'm just bone-idle.

Hi Dan,
To be honest I still couldn't tell it was working after the relay was fitted. By pure chance I found the cruise control setting on my nanocom and while I was pressing the arm/disarm button on the dash my wife said "hey, this is changing!". So then I took it for a drive and it worked. My wheel has no writing it's all rubbed off, left hand button is set, right hand lower button is resume. By the way there is a noticeable lag from pressing resume to it kicking in, it's not like modern cars - be prepared for the drop in speed for a couple of seconds - very disconcerting hahaha

My petrol is pretty instant acceleration on resume In fact, it's a bit heavy footed for my liking so I normally ease it up to speed then click resume. Bit gentler on the wallet that way!

Mine too. It tries to get back up to speed as fast as possible rather than a slow acceleration. Never resume going up a hill

I had the same issue. I bought a length of braided rubber hose, with ID of 6mm and OD of 11mm. It works fine.

Evenin' all, my cruise stopped working when I disconnected it all from the EAS box to fix my ring pieces...

I replaced the hoses with plastic pipes (with rubber hose at each end), but not a peep!

The "motorway bridge" switch lights up and the pump is in excellent working order as are the bellows (I wired it up and connected the pump to the bellows and it almost sucked it inside out, such was the force from the pump ) and the bellows stay sucked in until I pull the hose off.

I did go to the local indie to get him to read the computer, but as per, he let me hang around for half an hour then took off on a job leaving the office girl to tell me he had to go Had my money ready and everything

So, if anyone in the Inverness area has a nano or bigger reader that would tell me if it's the pedal switch or perhaps the CC ECU I'd be very grateful indeedy.

It's curious it simply stopped after being removed and replaced?!
