Get the guy to retune it. He'll get it sorted ok.

As for the cruise, get someone to hold the brake on and you check out the tail lights. If one of your globes is broken, it can play havoc with the cruise system.

Hope that helps, let us know how you go.

Cheers,

GK

gas is very sensitive to spark make sure your leads and plugs are up to scratch as well as checking brake lights ive found a simple way is back up near a window at night to do this and see reflection through mirror

Not a bad idea at all!

Just don't reverse through the shop window or they'll think you're doing a smash and grab! LOL!
