Priced the Module up at Sopers and my local BMW supplier for the same price of £44 + VAT

That's not bad, just found my invoice from Cooper Reading in 2010 for £41.62+ vat and I think the E36 switch was £29 off eBay.

I remember nearly putting it on mine when I ordered it, I think it was about £160? but after all the other extras I put on it I think it came down to that or the onboard computer.

One thing to try and get is a switch with the rubber trim at the base of the stork makes for tidier install around the hole in the column trim.

Ordered the stalk/switch of ebay.com for £12, a big thanks to @t-tony as it is getting sent to him for free postage in Florida and he is bringing it back for me

Just found mine in the shop yesterday now to track down the other parts in there! What a mess in there, the wife's been sending things from the house down there with my son and there's stuff piled everywhere!! JIM

I'm always looking on US sBay some of the prices are really good but the shipping is ridiculous! A lot of the venders don't even reply to messages.
I've been trying to get a US rear license plate infill panel in Topaz for ages!

Some sellers are just lazy @ Devon Z! Same the world over! JIM

I now have Cruise Control fitted and working, Purchased the Interface from Soper (10% discount given and free postage £48) The Stalk and knob came from ebay USA seller. Once I had all the parts the job is easy but fiddly, trying to work upside down in the driver foot well is not so easy at 64, still keeps the body bendy. Quite difficult adding the connector to the connector stack because it needs to go in the middle of the stack so you need to release the middle connector by pushing in the clips, again easy to do if you could get to it. I had to use a cable tie to secure the interface as there was no bracket on the accelerator control.
All worked as it should, really pleased to have another gadget to play with. Thank you to @Low Rider for pointing out the USA ebay stalk and thank you to @t-tony for his help with getting it to me.
