Branners Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 steering wheel fixed, not column. Take the wheel off and the cruise goes with it. I have a spare GZ steering wheel here and its still attached. JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Branners Posted January 10, 2004 Share Posted January 10, 2004 Mary Ayling was looking to fit the cruise controls to an aftermarket wheel. They are just screwed to the steering wheel so can be undone and fitted to other wheels in theory.... JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude:flame Dev I will use it pretty much any time I get on a motorway, once you learn how to use it you will find it will save your licence. I specifically got it on the Vectra as well. If somebody is up your arse let them go by or just accelerate, once you find a suitable slot pull in and let the cruise set the speed again. Without it I used to find myself cruising along at 80mph, then accelerate up to pass something and find myself at 90mph, do it again and up to 100mph and so sitting there driving at 100mph. Well worth having in my opinion. JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
