    Master cylinders are quite expensive to replace. If the cruise control is working when the clutch pedal is raised slightly I would investigate the alternatives including repositioning the micro-switch. Remember the cruise control cannot be activated below 40mph (???).

    If this microswitch called that because it's invisible to the naked eye? I was upside down again looking for it at the weekend after advice from Greeners (thanks!) but still can't find it or (more likely) know what I'm looking for.

    If I take some pics, will someone be able to point it out for me?

    The clutch switch should be white in colour, and about the size of half a match box (Length ways)

    OMFG! The fat old bald git has managed to fix something by himself

    Vaguely following directions from on here while lying on my back with my legs in the air, I've managed to fix my cruise control! Couldn't see what I was doing, but located this ratchety thing that slid back and forth above the clutch pedal. Slid it as far toward the back of the car as poss and let the clutch pedal back to normal and, hey ho, it works! Took about 10 seconds in total.

    This may be simples to you chaps, but it's a big deal to me. Mind you, it did take me 10 minutes to get out of the car and upright again

    Thanks to greeners for the handy hints..

    Hardy-bloody-har! I'm not sure photos would help with this one, but once the blood has gone back to my feet I might try.

    So, who can tell me how to make heat come out of the passenger side? I don't care personally, but apparently I should

    It is not a Micro switch it is a hall effect switch with no moving parts
    These detect the proximity of the pedal hence it is critical it is positioned properly
