No need when the gutty is in the floor

What is a Gutty?

In this context, any shoe or shoe like foot clothing device

Some would debate that statement;)

On these the cruise is plug-in

 

By that I mean pop the stick in and it's autosensed.   No laptop time required.

Are you sure on this? 

 

I had a look and all the forums seem to say that for early ones there is no wiring there, and you can't turn it on in MultiECUscan as it's not coded in the ECU.

 

Ones after the interior facelift with the 147 style dash are plug and play, the only one I could find that had got it working on a pre interior facelift (2003 or so) had had to put in all the wiring back to the pedals and ECU, and flash the ECU with software from a Lancia Thesis or something.

 

 

I would however be happy to be proved wrong, as I have a 51 plate 2.4JTD and I love me a bit of cruise.

Ah, perhaps I'm not so sure after all

 

Ok mine is an interior lift '52 plate

 

I (also) learn something everyday  :oops:

If anyone is interested in the etymology, "gutties" are/were rubber-soled shoes, i.e. plimsoles, from gutta-percha, natural rubber. Every day is a school day.

Sounds a productive weekend!   Do the Clio wheels melt like the Puma one has?

looking at the pics "auto" on the heater of the clitto would suggest climate and its seems you have speed limiter as well as cruise!

I think it's a melty/absorbs skin thing.

Aye well the only speed limiter once the gearbox is done will the the hard cut at 7k;)

Same switch as my gooner, up for cruise, down the limiter then push buttons on the steering wheel!

 

Same steering wheel buttons as well! Flick dash switch to turn whatever on, then hit + or - on the LH buttons to set the speed, then + or - to go up and down as needed. O on the RH side to over ride it and pause it, R to resume (much more fun in an auto I imagine when you can get down to 20mph and resume an 80mph cruise...)

 

Looking at your dash though, I wonder how it tells you what speed it's set at? You have all the warning lights where the screen on mine is. Unless it's just 'see where the speedo stops changing speed' and job done?

It's far too fucking complicated compared to the simple 1 stalk set up on. The E36..

More special than that it is the same cruise as Vel satis!

IIRC it's on the mileage counter on these, where the trip, MPG, etc computer lives too.

Surely it's 1 stalk with about 13 buttons/functions though?

Nup.

 

Push to front to set an/or accelerate

Pull to back to decelerate

Push up or down to cancel

 

All done, intuitive and no need to look away from the road

Sounds good then! I've got used to it now so don't need to look either, but do find myself with my thumb over the cancel button incase the traffic slows, usually a blip of that, natural slowing then pushing the + to set the current speed does the trick

Push up should be resume, not cancel, I think.

 

Ben

nope, resume is pushing the stalk in towards the steering column
