Smile cruise control

I recently purchased a secondhand cruise kit off a guy in Hastings in Ebay, who knows a lot about 850's and spends his time stripping them down
It was dead easy to fit to my p reg 850 along with some photocopied volvo instructions and consisted of fitting a new stalk, a missing relay, some vacuum pipe from a vacuum unit I put on a bracket under the battery tray through the grommit in the bulkhead to the actuator on the accelerator and two units on the brake and clutch pedals.
It took me two hours and after checking all was ok I took it for a run gingerly down the motorway. I had to tweak the clutch switch but otherwise all was ok and I use it every day on my 3 am runs up the M2 to London. Never have I rested my right foot so much, OK its quite crude by modern standards but once youve got the hang of it you can cntrol it quite easilty using the + and - on the stalk.
I have just bought an M reg 960 cheap on Ebay and I think it has the same system it is a s crude but now I wouldnt be without !
