Cruise Control On A Saxo??

[badboyben88]

I am driving to Spain through France in the Summer and was just wondering if there was any way to put cruise control on the Sax except for using a bit of wood to hold down the accelerater pedaL as I have alot of motorway driving to go through

Thanks

lazy people take the scenic route down country roads miles more fun

Adsayer: Will do mate

HessleVTR: I am taking the scenic route but driving for 15Hours with my foot on the pedal is a killer lol

dont think so would have to install some sort of motorised throttle body and all the necessary gubbins to control that and then calibrate it etc....

I found this sounds OK http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/CHEAP-Universal-fit-cruise-control-Eagle-Economic_W0QQitemZ8073358423QQcategoryZ9895QQrdZ1Q QcmdZViewItem

dunno if its a con or not but with it being on ebay id be more likely to say yes

on that description i wouldnt touch it with a barge pole it doesnt tell you how its suppose to work with a cable throttle or anything about fitting

That device is hardly cruise control im afraid. It would be fine if you are plodding on flat road but when you come to hills, your speed will vary dramatically.

You need one with a feeback control loop i.e. montiors and compares the car actually speed against desired speed then makes the necessary adjustments.

As i say i will have a look and speak to my father (he's pretty knowledge able on this sort of thing)...
