As above rele, just want to know the possibility. I do LOADS of motorway driving in my 1.2, so when I get my 1.6, I wanna have cruise.

I found this:

http://82.34.52.15/sytemsandsoftwaredevelopment/systems/automotive/How_to/General/CruiseControl.htm

Fitting cruise to a Mk3 astra, but it has to have ABS right?

Any help?

Cheers..

can be done, tricky without a FBW throttle though.

xe's had speedo cable's...

will probably just use a sender between the cable and box, like on spi nova's/corsa's with cables...

It looks quite easy, im just unsure what to connect throttle cable wise to the main "box". The electronics looks piss, apart from the brake light thing.
