wonkydog Posted September 8, 2006 Report Posted September 8, 2006 Use the search button. (saves you asking a question that has been probably been asked before) Your problem will very likely be the perished rubber hose going to the vacuum pump behind the left hand front indicator lamp. Open the bonnet and undo the one screw(star/hex shaped head) holding the indicator lense in place. Pull the lense forward and you will have access to the pump and hose. Feel with your fingers and have a look for any splits. A split will let the air out and cause your loss of cruise control - I had the same problem(it's a common fault) If the split is near the end, cut it off. Otherwise it's a trip to the dealers for a new length of hose or a repair with some plumbers tape. Quote

wonkydog Posted September 8, 2006 Report Posted September 8, 2006 I stand corrected. Thanks for the info. I suppose if I had bothered to read the full post with what model was mentioned - I would have kept my mouth shut! :rolleyes: :rolleyes: Quote
