If it's like mine, look round the outside of the speedo - when cruise control is on a little white indicator zips round the outside and stops at the set speed. You should get told the set speed on the display as well, but only briefly.

As for the display, on mine you can cause it to cycle through displaying MPG, remaining range, average speed or nothing at all - press the button labelled "BC" on the left stalk.

HTH.

Mine doesn't show any line or light it just works from the stalk nothing else. It must be different on some models.

Loads, the main two are P Torque and Evolve both offer member discount have a great reputation and include before and after testing with BHP figures. Off the top of my head the prices are about £275 and £375 I think, check the technical section for exact prices

Edit seems January offer for £245

You sure the outer ring on the speedo does not indicate the 'set' cruise speed? Thought all models did that, and the 6cyl ones with the cruise that brakes as well, show the digital set speed in the centre display.

100% Its probably the different instrument panel the 6cyl cars have. Might be interchangeable...
