Hi all i have had a new gearbox+clutch fitted to my 2.3 carlsson. Now my cruise control is off. Any ideas???
Thanx Gary

Wooaah! I bet that cost a few pennies!

Do you mind telling what that cost to do? I'm just wondering in case the worst case scenario comes true.

Are you happy with the difference with a new box and clutch?

I'm afraid I can't give any advice on the cruise question! (Useless get that I am). ;-)

Hi,
the total cost was £450 as the gearbox was secondhand however, after replacing the lamba sensor my car is still not running right especially from cold. It feels as if it is holding back or restricting the fuel supply and somedays it feels as if the handbrake is on!!. The boost gauge also seems to rise slower when this occurs and it is starting to p*** me off!!. Had the tcs unit replaced as it had gave up and also the main control unit (As luck would have it my independent saab guy had a tcs unit which i got for £30!!!) and it ran better for a while but now it`s back to its old self. I suppose i will have to take the plunge and book it into the main dealer again££££££. Just wish i could get it sorted.

Try checking that the clutch pedal switch has not been disturbed in any way..if the new clutch has altered how the pedal sits the switch may be making..this disengages the cruise control.Not sure if it will be that but at least it's an easy one to start with.

You were lucky getting hold of that TCS unit for £30. THink they are £700 new!

Hope you get the car sorted.
