Cruise Control on SA

Post by rmlotusexcelsa »

Hi All :(
Any ideas how to fix the cruise control on a Excel SA 1987 ?
The switches light up ,but the cruise will not set the speed at any speed over 30mph.
Any good ideas were the wiring goes too the autogearbox or :?:
Kind regards
Roger

Hi Roger
Some years ago Chris Foulds in Honley, Huddersfield did an excellent job rebuilding my engine after a shredded cambelt, and has always been very helpful with any advice I've asked for. His website is:
