but cruise control kept malfunctioning less it was me

Cruise control won't engage unless you have touched the brake pedal atleast once since you started the car... could that explain your issue? :cool:

It is a safety thing (to ensure your brakes are working)  :goodjob:

Well, that's my learn of the day.
Never knew that.  :)
I try to learn one new fact per day.
At my age it keeps the brain active.

I think it actually checks the logic of the cruise control, not the brakes. It wants to ensure that the cruise control receives a brake signal so that it knows to disconnect.

I just learned that cruise control is definitely not female (if it uses logic!) :happydance:

Where I last worked, it was common to be blamed for anything that went wrong at work, while you were away on holidays. :(

Yep. A40.
My grandparents bought one new. I still have the receipt for it.
But theirs was a sedan.
We got T boned by a taxi once in the centre of Brisbane when I was about 6 y/o.
