   I am driving to Spain through France in the Summer and was just wondering if there was any way to put cruise control on the Sax except for using a bit of wood to hold down the accelerater pedaL as I have alot of motorway driving to go through
   
   Thanks

   dont think so would have to install some sort of motorised throttle body and all the necessary gubbins to control that and then calibrate it etc....

   That device is hardly cruise control im afraid. It would be fine if you are plodding on flat road but when you come to hills, your speed will vary dramatically.
   
   You need one with a feeback control loop i.e. montiors and compares the car actually speed against desired speed then makes the necessary adjustments.
   
   As i say i will have a look and speak to my father (he's pretty knowledge able on this sort of thing)...
