i have a 2003 (52 plate) 2.2 sri. i want to fit cruise control. i have heard that the wiring loom is pre installed but what about the clutch switch?
will i have to have a tech 2 to turn it on. i have heard also that it can be as easy as plug and play
cheers

HI, if u have vectra facelift 2.2 sri, its not a blue plug, its a black plug with a blue pin type inset. When u take off the top steering coloum off .. on the very top u will have or should have 2 black plugs sitting on a slider bracket the left plug should hold a blue pin thats what u got to take out to plug the c/c stalk in to.

Wow just found this thread and I am excited about getting cruise control on the cheap on my 2001 Vectra B. Are the parts still readily available and is there a current "howto" as the one posted a few replies ago is no longer valid.
ya you need a indicator stalk with cruise control buttons on and a brake pedal switch
you can buy both from LMF vauxhall or the stealership if your feeling flush
STALK
fitting is quite simple first remove the steering wheel surround. couple of screws and plastic clips.
you"ll need to move the steering wheel from left to right to see the clips
once the covers removed the indicator stalk is held on by two screws and a multi plug. remove it.
you will also notice an unused single black plug with a blue cap sitting next to the stalk this is for the cruise control
when fitting the new C/C stalk simply remove the blue cap and plug the unused wire into the extra socket on the stalk ( job done)
PEDAL SWITCH
you"ll need to remove the cover infront of the pedals (plastic screws just twist off)
once this is out of the way you will see a plastic heater pipe this just pops off
now you should have good axcess to the pedals notice the clutch already has a switch fitted
so just the brake to do .
above the brake pedal you will find a white plug taped to the main wiring out of the way cut the tape off
and pull it free ( be carefull tho)
the back ove the pedal has a square cut out for the switch to fit in (only goes in one way ) push in untill it clicks push the plug into the switch. pump the brake pedal with your hand to make sure the switch is fitted securly then take for test drive before refitting everything.
its bin a while but im sure i havnt forgot anything hope you find this usefull

Lovely. Thanks very much for taking the time to write this up. Very helpful.
All I have to do now get the parts. I phoned the stealership for a stalk and they wanted £48+VAT :upyours:
Think I'll avoid Ebay and go with LMF Vauxhall and get warranted parts.
