Cruise Control Connector Location

It´s gotta be in range of the loom. This much is certain.
Where/when did you get the loom? Parts catalogue lists this as NLA.

Is there anything remotely similar to the offside strand of wires underneath the dashboard on your driver´s side?

I am wondering why nobody with a RHD car and cruise control is chiming in

One can only and again emphasize: these plugs are hidden well and sometimes not even close to where you´d expect them. They just come with a longer stretch of cable bound back ...

Sorry to not be able to offer more helpful advice...

Have you looked behind the speaker enclosure in the left footwell? or I suppose possibly the right if they didn't wire them all as world cars.
If I remember correctly the clutch switch connector was listed there when I was looking to do a manual conversion on the 840 long ago. Still have the bits and a 20k mile M62 with a six speed for doing that but not the enthusiasm to actually do it anymore.

I know I can't add anything crucial with this, but I have found a couple of Pics of my retrofitting.

I see the X76 connector very close to the clutch switch, so it has to be close to the pedals .
Back then I had no difficulty at all to find it (I know, I know... left hand drive and so on... ).

Good luck!

I can.
And it wasn't. It came from the area above the steering column (well... approximately).
