PDF link for temp gauge mod -
http://www.enginesaver.com.au/Tempgauge.pdf this can also be found in the factsheet on coolant alarms in the members area.
do a search on "cruise and control" it'll come up with what you want - the search function is your friend
A lot of us have gone for the waeco MS-50, but there are other options.

Thanks Both,
I did look for the temp gauge factsheet but couldn't find it (I was looking for temp gauge factsheet 
)
Once again a swift response, great help and much appreciated, i will see using the links which cruise control looks the best for the job although i reckon they all do what they say on the tin.
Let's hope for a dry Bank Hols

I've got the MS50. Very pleased with it, and pretty simple to fit with Simon's Fact Sheet (and a little help here
).
I'm not sure it's still available though.

I too used Simons excellent instructions for the MS 50.
I tested it on a long stretch of Dual Carriageway, I set it exactly for 60mph by the satnav, and after 29 miles the average speed had been 59.6mph, so very accurate, as well as giving the right leg a break.
I use it a lot in average speed camera areas and speed limited urban areas, much more than I thought I would before I had it.

Yep got the ms 50 too, if you can find one now they are rare these days, very good as long as you remember they do not acknowledge roundabouts or junctions etc, lol, they just keep going at whatever speed it is set to, even it that is into a river,lol.

If they are still available here
http://www.edirectory.co.uk/gmtv/mib/d/ ... /10876515/
That is the best price and certainly the lowest P&P by far, you will find anywhere.
P&P from the usual suppliers in Germany is much more than that.
