    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.

    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.

    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..
