thank.. but my car is 2001 model .. which in the website you sent the manuals start from 2002 upward,so no 2001 manuals.. what can i do next?

Unfortunately I'm not aware of online versions of the manuals for older cars. The 2002 guide should be useful to some extent, excepting that the COM2000 control stalk was introduced part-way through 2001 during the series' change from part-multiplex to fully-multiplex wiring. Because your car was built during the changeover year, your car may or may not have COM2000. If it does, the 2002 manual should be pretty relevant. If not, then probably not so much.

Can you show a picture of your steering wheel and indicator/light stalks?

If all else fails, you may find it necessary to buy a manual off eBay. This listing is apparently for a 2000-model car, which would be suitable for a facelifted car (post 1999 T-registration) without the COM2000 control stalk system:

I have a PDF copy of the Haynes manual, although I think it may be for a different model (1999 - 2002 I think ) - however I'm happy to put it on a CD for you and send it through the post if you like...

The D9 Haynes only does up to 2002 so doesn't cover full-mux cars.

I think the word that's needed here is "handbook". They only go back to 2002 on Service Box so the com2000 stuff will probably be irrelevant, but everything else will be ok and you can always ask questions....

i think my car is semi mux.. anyway i want to check and repair my faulty cruise control..

[highlander]

Cruise control faults are generally caused by faulty switches at the pedals. To disengage cruise, you have to press either the brake or clutch pedals. Each of those pedals should have a small switch attached, which we know sometimes break.

On newer cars, the cruise control system is operated by the BSI / ECU systems, and is fairly robust (save for the pedal switches, which have been known to fail). On earlier (pre-MUX) cars however, the cruise control system is vacuum-actuated, so it's conceivable that a vacuum leak may cause significant issues with the cruise control system.

I did have a 1999 semi-mux car (facelifted, as it was a V-reg, but like yours, not new enough to have COM2000). Unfortunately mine was LX-trim and did not have cruise control at all, so I'm not sure what kind of arrangement a 2001 car would have for cruise.

Pedal switches are the first things to check out though. If they fail so that they are permanently-on, then the cruise control system will assume you're pressing either the brake or the clutch and will deactivate the cruise control system the same instant you activate it.

AFAIK Cruise control on a petrol engine involves a servo mechanism to work the throttle and a separate ecu.

It's likely there will be some relevant information on the coupe forum

All the switches behind the clutch and brake pedals are fine.. am suspecting the servo mechanisms....if I can get a guide guide on how to loose it or how to go about it.. also since is not full mux maybe it might have a fuse somewhere.. dunno was just thinking
