ZT 260 Cruise Control retrofit has it been done yet?

What is the possibilty of retrofitting Cruise in a ZT 260?
Initially just one question, are all the cables in place or were the SE and non SE built with different looms?

Is that a purchase I smell?

Have you Keith? Well done if so, now spill the beans........................

Not heard of it myself.

Would have thought it'd be easier on a Mark II as they had it as an option and may have more of the bits already there?

Cheers

Hi Justin just testing the waters at the moment as these cars are so different in some respect to the fwd variants yet share many common components although the cuise actuator system won't be one of them, the ecu might though?

Q if you know, is there a dependancy on TC being fitted for Cruise to work?

Not an expert myself, but I'm sure I've read somewhere that it's linked together, yes. :lol:

Have not heard of an owner retro fitting CC & TC to a 260. The TC is too intrusive and will jump in when you don't want it to. The CC will work like it does in the other variants. However if its a new ECU to run it then the cost will put you off. :lol:

Not all cars have the correct loom and it could get quite envolved.

Thanks Scooter I was nosing about under the bonnet whilst trying to shift some of the mud it has collected and couldn't see any revealing tied back cables or anything although haven't actually checked yet if the actuator is vacuum operated or not.
