Can anyone help?
Just bought this car and can?t get the cruise control to work the light comes on when you switch it on but nothing happens when you try to set a speed in the memory using the stalk.
have tried it over 30mph in 4th & 5th gears to no avail,
is there anything obvious i can check, or is it the dreaded diagnostic plug in at the local peugeot/ripoff garage :cry:

Hi, cruise control may not be enabled in the ECU, it could have had a software upgrade done incorrectly before you bought it. I assume yours is an auto, not a manual which has had an add-on. Probably a job for the dealership. T.

hi Tony and thanks for your reply
Its a manual box, dont know whether the executive comes with this as standard or was an add-on later on,
would it have an extra switch on the brake pedal, i.e one for the brake lights, and one to cancel the cruise control or would you think they both utilise the same switch, i am also assuming that there is a motor somewhere to control the accelerator?
getting closer and closer to a diagnostic plug in LOL

I had a couple of jobs done to my 307 after which the cruise control didn't work. If it's less than 3 years old (or if it was the last time the trained Peugeot chimpanzees were allowed to play with it), then it should be covered by warranty. If they don't play ball, kick up a fuss, preferably when the showroom is busy.

Hi again, Probably better to get a more informed opinion than mine. I run a petrol auto with cruise, and a HD110 auto without cruise. It does seem strange that a cruise is fitted to a manual box though. A Hdi would not need an actuator I dont think, cos the ECU can just open up the injector pulse width, but I,m not really sure. T.

Have been digging around by the brake pedal, there are 2 switches one red plug and one white plug,
the white one is definately the brake light control plug, what is the red one for, could this be linked to the cruise control circuit?, i.e. I know the cruise control cancels when the brake is applied.
its a bit awkward to get out to test it, but will try

cruise control is now working, :D
it was simply the switch in the wrong position on the brake pedal..
