Hi John I'm thinking this is a petrol engine ??? I said this to someone else but here goes I found this perhaps it will help you :- One of the thing that will cause a cruise control fault is a loose vacuum hose ussually on the breather hose coming from the valve cover in front to the throttle body. I also found that if the engine light comes on the cruise control light comes on automaticly So it could just be a engine problem .??? Frank

Can I suggest you download the software for free OBDII and purchase a 16 pin to USB lead widely available on Amazon and Flea Bay. OBD is a very good diagnosis software

Hi Steve, Tracking is a very important little job that I am willing to spend £30 on every now and then, and certainly every time I get new tyres. Peter.

It sounds like it is going into limp mode to protect the engine? You can get a fault reader and eml reset unit form ebay for around £20-00 just make sure it covers your model as some say it does yet it certainly does not (garages can charge around £40 just to tell you the fault) so not a bad investment and may mean you can resolve the issue at a sensible price......fingers crossed

Hi John, I did sort it mate! Did two things. Changed the O-rings on the intake air control valves and changed the spark plugs. I reckon it could just have been plugs as the ones that came out were in a state and likely the original plugs first fitted that would have now done some 85,000 miles! Drives like new since, happy days! Good luck with your own and do let me know if yours might fix the same way.
