Hey folks
Quick question, is it possible to retrofit cruise control on a 1.9D? Specifically a 600 Enterprise on a 54 plate. All the posts I have looked through seem to be based on the HDI engines.
I have had a look for the brake and clutch switches, the brake has a 2 wire switch and the clutch has none. However there are 2x 2 pin/wire brown connectors lurking nearby.
I have also looked briefly at lexia and the option is there for it in the BSI.
2005 Enterprise 600 1.9D - It did 85 once but started to smell funny.

The bsi is common to both hdi and dw8, however the dw8 uses a mechanical pump, so the ecu cannot rev the engine as a hdi can, so the answer is no bar fitting an actuator and some kind of aftermarket cruise adaptor

Nail the accelerator to the floor. They're so slow that the occasional touch on the brake will keep you at a constant speed

True.... Make sure your accelerator cable is tight and moving freely... Makes it slower if not!

If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.

We have a Romahome with a 1.9d engine.
I had an aftermarket cruise control fitted, expensive but some of the best money I have spent.
