Cruise control mate! There's a little rocker switch on your left stalk.  :happy2: The button on the side engages it when you press the bottom of it, you can increase it's speed by pressing the top of it.

Are you sure you don't have a rocker switch on your left stalk? Like this

Can you engage cruise control below a certain speed? 20-25mph?
Doesn't look right to me. :confused:

It might look slighter different to that picture as there was 2 versions of cruise control stalks :)

Yeah there is a sticker in the boot with a load of numbers on...

Use this website to determine what factory spec you've got

When i switch my cruise toggle on I get that light.  Don't need to be cruising for it to be displayed either so I'd assume you have the option without knowing :happy2:

The cruise light will light up if cruise is engaged, but on some cluster it will light up if the ON switch on the top is turned to the ON position

If you don't have the stalk then there is a fault
