This may not be your prob,but there are 3 small black hoses comming of the vac pump ..pass side back of engine... this was the prob i had. go to halfords pull one of the 4-5 inch rubber hoses off take it into the shop.they will sell you a meter for about £2... cut to length(do all 3) then try it again... if this dose not work you onlt lost £2. ps the hoses will be on tight just give them a good pull...
Can also be the cruisecontrol amplifier these brake down quite often, see ECU Repair Centre, Cruise control repair service and remanufactured units, Tempomat Steuergerät revision

Usually it's the hoses that split or the small "T" piece by the bellows cracks. Another possible area to look is the cmbination brake light switch/vent unit by the brake pedal-check the pipe hasn't come off. There is a step by step electrical trouble shooting guide in the electrical section of RAVE which will identify any ECU etc. problem

Can't remember the difference between the P38 and Classic, I think the systems are similar, in which case check the spiral cassette behind the steering wheel, the ribbon cable breaks. Also, the steering wheel switches have been known to play up.

Knowing what the fix was would be a help.
Might be an old fart, but nice to know what was up with it after other members gave advice instaed of just saying "It's fixed"
