Fixed the water leak today , plus removed the too short rocker cover hold down bolts and fitted the shiny new ones courtesy of Hamlet - thanks mate you are a good bloke for a banana bender ImageImage took the steering wheel off and squared it up as well plus had a go at the cruise control that isn’t playing the game - still got some work to do there Image

looks like the unit is not seeing the cutouts on the brake and clutch pedals Mick, so it wont set.

It doesn't monitor the globes itself Mick, it has additional stop switches that are connected directly to the unit - will have a look this weekend

i can't remember the technical terms but i had problems with the Austin when we put cruise in it and it was because the brake lights were LED, i think it was something to do with power feedback or resistance or something had to fit a thing that looked like a tiny amp heat sink thing (sorry about my vague technical terms :lol: )

I did some YouTube study and one bloke had trouble with his because it didn't have enough vacuum going to the unit - I am going to try that tonight - need to go to Pirtek and get another fitting today
