Anyone know the answer to this one?
The action of the cruise control on my Xantia is rather harsh due to the amount by which the throttle opens when speed begins to drop being too great. This makes for a "bang-bang" type of control rather than a smooth one. Is there any way of adjusting the degree of throttle opening which the system calls for? I do not know whether the throttle activation is set by a mechanical linkage or by yet another electronic box.
Other cars I have driven seem to have a much more proportional response to speed changes and consequently give a smoother drive under cruise control.
Thanks

You can adjust it using the rod and bucket thingy by the throttle linkage. The ball ended rod from the butterfly cam fits into an adjustable tube type affair attached to the bellows, which should screw back and forth.
It infuriates me to be wrong when I know I'm right
