'96 300tdi auto discovery. Cruise control was working fine. Now when I
engage, it slowly loses speed - 8-10mph then slowly returns to set position.
After a minute or so, the speed starts to drop again.

Any ideas where I might start looking for a remedy?

Thanks
Davy M.

Air leak in hoses from pump to actuator and or throttle pedal?

Wisdom and experience come with age, they say, but I wish I could
remember the darn question

Good shout. Checked the hoses - one was split at the tee piece. Cut off 25mm
from the end of the hose and rejoined it - Sorted!

Thanks Guys
