1996 Volvo 850R 855Hi all, I noticed today whilst trundling along the motorway that my cruise control doesn't seem to be working, i used to use it quite alot but neglected it lately as I used the back lanes to work.
Any ideas on possible causes??
All suggestions will be welcomed as I can narrow down the problems!!
Thanks in advance
