Hi Andy, sorry for being a dimwit but I've been faffing around in the footwell and don't know what I'm looking at! :oops:
Here's a shot I took in the footwell - is the cruise control in this picture? If you can point me to where it is I can get closer.

Hope you can help me find it for you. Si.

It's the silver box mounted just to the right of the brake pedal bracket, sticking out towards you.

@wurlycorner. Hi Iain, I've got another photo from a different angle. Is it that silver box that you're talking about?

Right thanks. Unfortunately I'm a bit busy now but first thing tomorrow I'll scribble it down for you and post it here.
The search is nearly over! ;)

J01, that's great, thanks. Now I know what to look for!

I've been doing a lot of grovelling in the footwell lately, I can now twist my torso completely around, like an owl!

Noticed a slight weep of oil from the rocker cover (again) which was leaving drops and splodges on the drive. We had a good look and Jason decided to get new washers, rubber seals and re-do the rocker cover just to make sure as maybe the washers weren't pressing down enough.

Job done and no leaks as of Saturday, Sunday or this morning so feeling confident it's sorted. :)
