Cruise Control

Just bought RR p38 at weekend.
Cruise control not working or is it fitted.
No manual with it. Presume motorway sign middle of dash switches cruise on, Pressed in no light or sign on dash.
If that button is fitted will it have cruise?
If I have what are the possible remedies?

Many Thanks
Colin

Yes a bloody big difference, diesel is operated by engine ECU, petrol is all pipes and levers and vacuum pumps. Look at fuse 17 under drivers seat.

Useful post on here.......if it was a petrol 4.6 (?) only

Depends what year your car is. Go to "How to" section at top of page and look in my EAS how to, link to RAVE workshop manuals in there. Download and take a look for yourself

Daft question
when at speed did you push the button on the steering wheel to "lock" speed?
The dash switch only powers it! Its the streeing wheel buttons that control it

I will do that, new to site so navigating around I will learn a bit.

Thanks for your help.

Good point if the tell tale bulb is blown in the switch.

Tried setting on left hand button on steering wheel at around 55mph.

Forgot to mention, use cruise control on my truck throughout the day.

Checked fuse 17, had a 10 amp fuse not blown.
What are my next options?

Thanks
Colin

Check connections if all ok. Diagnostics.

Worth checking the vacuum pipes, especially at the connection point near the bellows in the engine bay. Often perishes here and leaks. Its behind the eas box on the passenger side.

Diesel cruise control is controlled using the engine ECU, check both brake pedal switches....if this hasnt been mentioned previously.
