The cruise control has died on me
It was working perfectly, and has just stopped. The only thing I have done is to fit studs and spacers to the rear, and I noticed as I arrived at work that the ends of the studs are just touching something in the rear handbrake drum. But I don't see that being related.
Which fuse do I need to check?
Any other suggestions?
Edit: it's a 110 hdi executive

Very common cause is lack of coherence between the two brake switches.

The other common one is a slow-to-rise clutch pedal - if it happens again try lifting the pedal with your toe / try again.

I reckon you've hit the nail on the head there TBH, as I arrived at work, I noticed the clutch was lower than normal (CJ mentioned to me about the issue when I got the car) so I just pulled it back up with my foot. After work, it was working again.

Jonny, did you get the master cylinder yet? I really wonder if it will fix it. Or whether it's the weak spring under the pedal...
