Finally – Cruise Control

[Marlon]

Well I’ve finally had cruise fitted to my Zed



Blackpool Motors in Lytham St.Annes charged me £118 including VAT to fit

I dropped it off this morning and walked into Lytham for a Costa while they fitted it.
Driving back home on the motorway was a pleasure – it’s so simple to use. As I’ve mentioned previously my right leg aches on long journeys so this is a great mod for me.
It will also come in handy for Z4 meets as I can use it on the motorway to get to the rendezvous before the serious driving begins.
Then afterwards I can relax into cruise mode coming home

Excellent Marlon !

Top drawer Marlon, good move. I wouldn't buy a car without it these days, as you say on a long run with light traffic on the motorway etc, it's worth its weight in gold.

Good price for fitting, how long did they take?

[Smartbear]

Good news, sounds like a very reasonable price you were charged

They quoted 2 hours Steve, but it took longer. I dropped it off at 8:30am and picked it up at 12:30.
Not sure exactly when they began work on it but it obviously took well over 2 hours. However, they honoured the initial quote.
The guy on reception said its like any job - if they get another in tomorrow it would take half the time.

(btw thanks again for your offer)

Good isn't it ? Good price too, thats about what I paid inc VAT. Not the £268 Dick Lovette BMW of Swindon was asking.

It is indeed a great option/mod to have. My only issue is it's so similar to the indicator stalk. So sometimes I end up signalling left or right when instead I just wanted to cancel the cruise!

Nice mod - well done

Wouldn't be without it, especially for keeping the speed down on the many stretches of smart motorway around me and a long section of downhill average speed checks that are soooo easy to abuse

I don't suppose you know how much it was just for the stalk do you? Nice looking steering wheel as well

[stevespg]

Was that inclusive of parts etc?

Seems very reasonable

Nice one Colin. Good philosophy to use on mway where spirited driving is a bit pointless anyway!

Excellent! Did you go home the long way round on the M55 to test it out?

[Marlon]

No - the parts (stalk & loom) were £128 So £246 all in.

Thanks - the wheel has had a 'Royalwheels' refurb
The stalk was £95 on its own from Sopers Linconshire
