Welcome to the fold Paul, im sure you will enjoy every moment of it :-)

Thanks for all the good wishes. Just 24 hours to go now until collection

Here's a question I wanted to ask, is it possible / has anyone done it, to add cruise control to a 260? It is the only thing that is missing from the car that I know I will keep reaching for as I use it on my other three all the time.

Has as anyone retrofitted it to theirs?

I have not done it on a 260 but it will depend if the wiring is there.

If it is all you will need to do is by the components and maybe tick a box in T4.

I retrofitted to a Saab a few years ago and all the wiring was there it just didn't have the extra components, took a few hours striping the bits of a scrap car and half a day fitting. I don't know if I was lucky but it just worked first attempt.


If there is no wiring you will probably be better fitting an aftermarket kit but use the genuine 260 Switches where possible. If you do go this route don't buy cheap, the ECU on the cheap kits are not the best and are often quite jerky in operation.

Merl retrofitted it to his Mk1, the only one I'm aware of. His car had the loom fitted and he sourced the actuator and other parts. I'd love to do this on mine too as I use cruise all the time in my ZT-T.

When i was looking at 260's initially i was under the impression the earlier MK1's never had the loom fitted only later mk1's on the change over year had the looms.
I could be proven wrong though.

When I get the car, I will remove the two hole switch panel to see if the loom is there for the sun blind, I'll check to see if a cruise plug is lurking tucked away too. Glad to hear it has been done, and yes a ZCS code change via T4 would be needed to 'tell' the car it has the option.

I actually have just dismantled the Cruise brackets etc on my recuse V8 to give them a paint the part numbers are on the actuator etc. I have took some photos of them with brackets etc. I will get them sorted and start a new thread when back home.

There are a few threads about the cruise control in the owners section. (When your Green you can view)
Good luck.

Already posted this on the 75 ZT Owners Club, but thought I'd post the pictures here too


On my return journey from Crewe to Southampton (214 miles) I used 41 litres of fuel which works out at 24mpg. Considering I get between 28 - 32 mpg in the V6, it's not that shocking
