Bigjeeze Posted January 4, 2009 Report Posted January 4, 2009 Hi All Well the clutch is fitted and all is well - everything seems to be working fine - except I have lost my cruise control - I am thinking this may be due to taking out the Clutch master cylinder and the pedal - Can anyone confirm how the switch can be adjusted? I didn't remove it but I don't know if I have distrubed it in any way - or - is there something I haven't doen on the gearbox end? The VSS sensor springs to mind but it was re fitted correctly. I'd be gratefull for any advice. Regards BJ Quote
big_kev Posted January 4, 2009 Report Posted January 4, 2009 Push clutch pedal to the floor. Pull switch piston out to max. length. Release clutch pedal and switch will self.adjust to correct position. Quote
Bigjeeze Posted January 5, 2009 Author Report Posted January 5, 2009 Thanks Kev will give it a try. Regards BJ Quote
Bigjeeze Posted January 10, 2009 Author Report Posted January 10, 2009 Well tried that but no joy - I cannot see or feel any adjustment on this switch so am at a loss as to how to rectify it. As far as I can tell the switch is "on" when your foot is not on the clutch and off when it is - thus taking off the cruise control - On mine the pedal seems either not to go as far back as it used to - or the switch is somehow shorter or needs some adjustment as the switch is not on when the pedal is released. Is anyone aware of any adjustment or will I need to put a small packing piece on the pedal to make sure it contacts - or even replace the switch? Any help gratefully received. BJ Quote
big_kev Posted January 11, 2009 Report Posted January 11, 2009 Push the clutch pedal to the floor...keep it down. Pull on the plunger that sticks out the bottom of the switch....it is very stiff but it will move. It has a ratchet type mechanism inside and if you pull it down as far as it goes then when you release the clucth pedal it will automatically adjust back to the correct length. Quote

Thanks Kev - you are absolutely correct - I have done it and my Cruise control is now working. Many thanks indeed. Regards BJ Quote
