i just looked into it seems i had the wrong idea. you can boot into windows from a usb device but it'd have to point to a windows xp installation on your internal hard drive. i'll just use my mrs' xp laptop if vista compatibility mode doesn't work well.
if the spare hard drive you have is the same connection (IDE or SATA?) as your laptop then you could always just swap the HDD everytime you want to use PP2000, it's usually just a few little screws to take out the hard drive.

Scott (sab) has the stalk plugged in, but has yet to get it programmed. i might go to a scrap yard this weekend and get a stalk if i see one. then drive to the garage and speak directly to a technician.

Your best bet is speaking to the Dealers Master Technician directly. I think a lot will be a bit unsure on if it will work or not as its not in their usual line of work to be 'retrofitting' parts such as Cruise Control. I will know by tomorrow if a nearby Dealer can do this and how much they will charge for the part and the required config.

I'm going to neither, will post up all details when a price has been established and when its fitted and working, which I'm hoping will be late this week / early next week.

The price I'm getting MIGHT be slightly discounted. Its seems Dealers vary in what they charge per hour, the one I discussed this with today advised they charged £59.00 (or was it £49.00?) per hour not including VAT.

well my clone cable came today, contrary to the seller it DOES work with a 2003 diesel.
i've activated the alarm i installed in the BSI and i have found the option to enable cruise and/or speed limiter.
works with XP, ordered tuesday came today - 6 days including a weekend from china.
just try and pockle a switch from the scrappies this week and see if that's all what's required.
