niall1001 Posted April 24, 2013 Report Posted April 24, 2013 hi all, i have just purchased a mk2 galaxy ghia 2.3,everythin works apart from the cruise control!! is the way it works the same as the mk1 i.e vacuum fed or is electronically controlled and if so would any1 know where i can start looking?? many thanks Quote
Steve_Mk1_2.3A Posted April 25, 2013 Report Posted April 25, 2013 Hi, There is a pipe in the OSF wing space that goes. Take out OSF headlamp and you'll see it :-) Fix / replace as you see fit. The pumps do go ... but not as much as the pipes! HTH Steve Quote
56k_warning Posted April 25, 2013 Report Posted April 25, 2013 Thanks for this I need to do the same with mine as mine has not worked since I have owned it. Quote
chrispb123456 Posted April 25, 2013 Report Posted April 25, 2013 Not actually done one of these but am sure I see it mentioned on here before that it's behind the N/S headlight/indicator lamps. Quote
Steve_Mk1_2.3A Posted April 26, 2013 Report Posted April 26, 2013 My bad! NSF indicator is where the pump hides out! Quote
viperclive Posted April 27, 2013 Report Posted April 27, 2013 It is behind the nearside indicator on mine, move 2.3, I had same problem, rubber connection pipe had perished, replaced and it worked, now I've lost cruise again! Checked the pipe n pump and they are ok so my problem is elsewhere, what I can't find is the relay? I'm going to strip out all the gubbins behind the peddles and check that they are all serviceable and hope that sorts it! Quote
niall1001 Posted April 27, 2013 Author Report Posted April 27, 2013 UPDATE found the pump and the pipe had split,cut it down and replaced,tho still not working,dont think its the pump as im sure i heard it working when i started the car,any other ideas guys?? Quote
viperclive Posted April 27, 2013 Report Posted April 27, 2013 The pump has a tendency to top up with water so it's worth taking out and checking inside. Quote
niall1001 Posted April 27, 2013 Author Report Posted April 27, 2013 UPDATE, took the pump off and wired it direct to the battery,worked ok,checked all the fuses(not sure which 1 controlled the pump),how ever found a fuse that didnt look like it was gone but it had melted into the outer plastic,replaced and went up the m6,all working fine so thanks all for your advice,now all i need to find is a 6-speed gearbox!!!!

viperclive Posted June 2, 2013 Report Posted June 2, 2013 Does anyone out there know where the fuse is located for cruise control in a mk1 2.3 ghia x and perhaps the relay before I go nuts! Quote
