Cruise Control Stopped working

[Jonners_GTI]

Going on holiday to France in the morning...on my way home form work i tried using cruise control and nothing. Switched it on and off, switched engine off etc and still doesnt work.

Anyone any ideas what could be wrong? Its been working fine...just decides to go wrong at exactly the wrong time!

Cheers

do your brake lights work?

Do your brake lights work? If the brake light switch is faulty then that can stop cruise control from working.

Thanks...I'll check in the morning. Is it an easy fix?

Usually a replacement break light switch if the switch has gone. Easy to replace

Thanks chaps. Got it fixed on way down to channel tunnel this morning.

what was wrong with it and where did u get it fixed ?

[rwbaldwin]

On a Mk1, the three most common causes are brake switch, LH stalk and clutch switch

It was the brake light switch. Got it done at hemel hemstead skoda on my way down to the channel tunnel!
