Crazy cruise control problem

[KitS]

What's a 'doda' please?

Whatever it is there's no indication when I should change gear, just reading the tacho and listening to the engine, as I've done for decades.

No quoting the old dog.

Ok someone try this cc 50 mph push throttle to over foot off throttle you’ll have a moment you can pull lever out of gear with out clutch. The moment the revs starts to drop cc goes off. How dit know ???

So go get the correct box or try change your settings.
I’m finished.

The driver must bring the vehicle up to speed manually and use a button to set the cruise control to the current speed.

The cruise control takes its speed signal from a rotating driveshaft, speedometer cable, wheel speed sensor from the engine's RPM, or from internal speed pulses produced electronically by the vehicle. Most systems do not allow the use of the cruise control below a certain speed - typically around 25 mph (40 km/h). The vehicle will maintain the desired speed by pulling the throttle cable with a solenoid, a vacuum driven servomechanism, or by using the electronic systems built into the vehicle (fully electronic) if it uses a 'drive-by-wire' system.

All cruise control systems must be capable of being turned off both explicitly and automatically when the driver depresses the brake, and often also the clutch. Cruise control often includes a memory feature to resume the set speed after braking, and a coast feature to reduce the set speed without braking. When the cruise control is engaged, the throttle can still be used to accelerate the car, but once the pedal is released the car will then slow down until it reaches the previously set speed.

On the latest vehicles fitted with electronic throttle control, cruise control can be easily integrated into the vehicle's engine management system. Modern "adaptive" systems (see below) include the ability to automatically reduce speed when the distance to a car in front, or the speed limit, decreases. This is an advantage for those driving in unfamiliar areas.

The cruise control systems of some vehicles incorporate a "speed limiter" function, which will not allow the vehicle to accelerate beyond a pre-set maximum; this can usually be overridden by fully depressing the accelerator pedal. (Most systems will prevent the vehicle accelerating beyond the chosen speed, but will not apply the brakes in the event of overspeeding downhill.)

On vehicles with a manual transmission, cruise control is less flexible because the act of depressing the clutch pedal and shifting gears usually disengages the cruise control. The "resume" feature has to be used each time after selecting the new gear and releasing the clutch. Therefore, cruise control is of most benefit at motorway/highway speeds when top gear is used virtually all the time.

Erm, yes, I think I knew all that, I've been driving with CC since 1995...............

Yours no longer matches what the software says in cim so no cc except in 3-4.

At last I managed to get my Sig into a main Vauxhall dealer to look at the lack of CC in 5th and 6th gears, and guess what?

It's got the wrong gearbox fitted, so the shysters couldn't be bothered to pull the gear clusters from my old box and put them and a new 5th gear cluster into the new casing, they just swapped the whole box!

They didn't know who they were dealing with, but they will do soon, maybe via the Small Claims Court!

I did say that.

You have to admit, Jon did cotton on to the idea that your gearbox had been swapped for a different one, pretty early on.

Yes but who listens to a VXR owner?
