My cruise control never worked since I bought the car and this week I decided to have ago sorting it. Bought some new vacuum pipes from eBay, fitted them and took her out for a run and was amazed to find that it worked. Did some testing to make sure the resume etc all worked and was happy.
Next day had a long run to the airport and was looking forward to a lazy drive. I switched in the CC on a long piece of road and it worked fine but when I made it to the motorway nothing world work. Well ****ed off.:mad:

Today I was out again tried it and it worked....once. It appears that I only get one crack at it before something stops working. If I turn the car off, the CC works the next time I use it but only once.

Any ideas?

Not that it helps, but mine's never worked either! Replacing the pipes made no difference.

There's a troubleshooting guide in Rave that I'm going to run through when I get to it on my to do list, but that may not help you with an intermittent problem.

It's the intermittent problem that has me stumped. All the usual troubleshooting steps are useless. Unless it is the ECU for the CC and switching the car off has the same effect as resetting it.
