You should have found Waeco MS -50

Just a thought.....

Did you spell it as above or as "Cruise Control"?

But that's if you can get one now Simon?

And with the £ at 1.18 to the Euro they are getting expensive if you find one.

Try asking at http://www.conrad-anderson.co.uk/cruise ... rolkit.htm about that model it is apparently an improved version of the MS-50.

Do a search using "cruise and control" loads of results, with Siomns instructions it'll only take a couple of hours if you can get an MS-50.

Bongalo - pm sent. It looks like they are still available for £109 (sterling) + P&P. Some folk have found them cheaper, but even at this price, its still good value.

I would think twice about using this mob - The unit never left Germany although they insisted it had and took me weeks to finally get a refund. :(

Mine was ok too. Worth noting there may still be a few pounds to be saved by getting one priced in Euros:

It seems to be about £3.50 cheaper, but your bank may charge that much to cover the exchange of currency.

If you use a Nationwide card (credit or debit) there are no conversion charges and usually a better exchange rate as well.

Took me a while to get mine too. I hounded them to see where it was and they told me that the courier effed up and it is now dispatched. That took another week. I got it about 3 months ago and still have not fitted it. if there are any problems with it then i am worried that there will be problems getting a replacement/refund.
wish me luck.

Mine is a magic Speed MS-50 one from the same place as Simon's. I had no trouble at all in getting it directly from Germany via ebay a few months ago. Still not have got around to fitting it though. :oops:

I'm wondering if they are still advertising them but having a job actually sourcing the stock when they get an order as the MS-50 is pretty well obsolete now.
