Default Hi - Newbie here

Hi All,
Just bought a 07 S2000 which was a cat D w/off (rear wing damage). Always wanted one despite racing a MR2 for many years!
Couple of issues please - I cant get the Cruise Control to work - how do I actuate it? I tried the 2 buttons on the dash but nothing happened.

Also the car does snake heavily when braking hard from 70mph and occasionallywhen braking from low speed it heads off the the kerb.

Any thoughts please

Regards

Woolfie

Only the switch marked Cruise Control influences the cruise control. The other one on the dash of my USDM '06 is the Stability Assist. Cruise LED should light when the switch is pushed in (it stays in). No light = no power (or a bad LED).

Bottom switch on the steering wheel sets the Cruise Control (if the dash switch is illuminated). Anyone diddle with the ECU? I think Cruise is controlled by the DBW system in the '06 and later cars.

Check the brake discs and pads.

Google the web, you can download an owners manual for the car. Searchable PDF is handy with a PC>

Cheers for all the replies.
So - my UK non GT model does not have Cruise control - just the narrative on the binnacle.

The weaving etc was sorted by Honda Swansway in Manchester - wheel alignment was well out - Camber and Castor angles etc.
Car was a Cat D w/off about 5 years ago and I guess once repaired the alignments were not checked.

So - onto Oulton Park for a trackday in a couple of weeks!

Cheers

Woolfie
