Thanks Tim - good to know.

I’m a farmer from Wiltshire by the way!

Will experiment with the forward control sensitivity - just read that you can adjust it.

That RRS was a 2007 TDv8 HSE that had ACC as a standard piece of equipment, you could in those days adjust the range at which it would detect things but not the sensitivity. In those days too the detector head had to have an unobstructed line of “sight” but unfortunately in snowy weather the snow built up on the sensor head and didn’t fall off and you ended up with a warning on the dash and no cruise control at all.......... really useful when I was driving regularly from Central Scotland to Southampton and back in the winter. It was a really great car for winter weather driving but no cruise in slush and snow was a pain. 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it
2018 Melting Silver Mini Countryman PHEV - soon to be replaced
2015MY Corris Grey SDv6 HSE Dynamic, the best car I have ever owned, totally reliable only a cou0le of rattles in 3 years, now no longer in my care
Also in my garage is a 1996 TDi300 Defender 90 County HT made into a fake CSW

I wonder how we all managed before our cars did the braking for us? Steve.
