My cruise control wont work now for some reason. The on /off switch works but it wont let me set the speed. Not sure if its coincedence or not but i recently pulled the plug for the annoying chime when you go ove rspeed limit. Is this related???

it could be.

 

Also try, lifting the brake pedal with your foot and activating the CC. Do the same with the clutch pedal too.

Emm, tried the pedals no joy. Will try plugging the chime back in but I think thats a llong shot

I know its an obvious one but cruise control doesnt work over a certain speed.

Yeah ,I tried at various speeds unfortunately not as easy as that.

mines the same m8 pain in the arse as i commute 60 miles a day in the bugger nearly all motorway

Well if I get to the bottom of it will give you a shout.
