The cruise control on my 4.8 refuse to set at speeds greater than 130km/hr (true speed). Nissan say it is not suppose to do that, but they cannot tell me how to fix it !?
Have any body experience this before?
Further more; the rear gear lock also refuse to engage. maybe the problem is with the vacuum system?

Re: Cruise Control
Hi Niekie, swop the vacuum pipes around and see if it works if so, turn it back and if not its the vaccum unit. Only 1600.00 rand. I have had a couple that we do that to and suddenly it's ok, almost as if a solenoid gets stuck... Cheers G

Re: Cruise Control
Re the cruise control, take a stick and wedge it between your seat and the go faster pedal and you will be cruising...

Re: Cruise Control
Thanks Gman and Herrie,
Switching the vacuum pipes worked well!!! It suddenly came alive.
It's just the cruise control !
Ps. G-man: I couldn't find a long enough stick
