Help Please! Cruise Control Not Working
En France wih a sporadic internet connection on phone. Cruise control stopped working. Fuse worth a try? Anything else to do?Clubs Mantec, Tasmods, LEDS, AT2s on 18s, Maxxis Bighorns on 17s, Remote FBH, BAS. ReMap, BSS., RLD Personalised SWP., Safari Snorkel, Faultmate, Three Musketeers & MUD

This usually caused by a dodgy clock spring behind the steering wheel (it happened to me although it was intermittent)...
The fault usually also causes SRS/Airbag faults, but in my case it didn't....just intermittent cruise control and radio button operation.
New clock spring fixed it completely. 2006 Discovery 3 TDV6 SE AutoBuckingham Blue 2007 Golf GT DSG

Yes Steve, reboot cured it! Recently changed steering wheel so point noted from you and PaulP ref clock spring! Thanks.
Learner driver just whacked my tow bar when she turned in a car park. No damage to mine but I had to wreck her front bumper to get free!

Make sure your tow bar locking mechanism isn't damaged at all

Mine has this problem too, intermitent cruise control, bit of a gamble as to whether it will turn on or off.
Usually turning the ignition off resets things.
Should I be looking towards the clock spring or buttons?
How much does the clock spring cost?
