Hi Guys,
03 2.4 Exec Tourer. On the way to work this morning I came off a round about onto an A road, hit 60mph and tried to turn on the cruise control. Nothing happened. I use the cruise control all the time normally.
Anyway, I tap the clutch and try again, still nothing. I tap the brake pedal, try again - we have cruise control. This kept happening all the way to work. I use the brake to slow the car, then the cruise control wouldn't engage, I quickly, but gently tap the brake, and it would work again.
I'm imagining it's something to do a switch in the pedal mechanism, as my actual brake wasn't on, the car was pulling fine.
Also, I suffer intermittent "VSA !" light coming on and staying on. I turn the engine off, restart the car and it's gone. I've read this can be related to either a faulty brake sensor or a faulty switch behind the brake pedal (maybe one that's related to the brake lights and/or Cruise Control???). Might these two things be related, are the pieces of the jigsaw falling into place or am I just developing more problems :unsure: .
Any tips, greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Steve
