Thankyou 8) It's hard to believe that was more than 12 years ago now :shock:

You're hoping there are 2, 1 is standard (brake lights, ecu), the other is either there or it isn't - mine wasn't (I thought it might be still hiding somewhere until I found empty positions in the ecu connector) I had to put wires in myself from the switch to the ecu connector.

Some later Pugs had a brake light switch that did both, I've no idea if that would suit the 406 though.

Hi All

Just picking up on this thread as I would like to fit cruise to my 2002 406 110HDi Rapier Estate. Is there a list of things I need to do anywhere? From what I can see:
Find a red cable above the brake pedal and fit a switch adjacent to the brake light switch
Fit the cruise stalk
Get the setup enabled using a PP2000?

Starting from scratch here so are there any other things I need to be aware of such as checking what type of ECU?

Any steer welcome!

Sounds like you've got the right list of bits there.

Most difficult obstacle is the wiring for the 2nd brake pedal switch, find out whether you've got the wiring already before you do anything else.
2002 HDi 2.2 Exec Estate, (2008-12) (wonderful)
2003 HDi 2.2 6-speed Exec Estate (2012-19) (also a gem)
2009 Citroen C5 2.0 HDi VTR+ Estate (godawful heap)
2008 BMW E91 330i touring (great fun - murdered by a reversing SUV)
2007 BMW E91 325i touring (slower smoother quieter)

It's not insurmountable but it's a PITA if it isn't there. Umm, maybe check the options in Peugeot Planet. I cant imagine they wouldn't be there but...
