I have an 82 240D with 4 speed. Since joining the forum a couple of weeks ago, I have had a lot of questions. Y'all have been a great resource of information. Another burning question I have is my Haynes manual has a picture of a cruise control actuator, which looks identical to the one on my car. It sits next to the power steering pump in the front left of the engine, it has linkage to the throttle, and it is wired into the harness through an 8 pin connector mounted on the fender. However, my car does not have cruise control? Is this really a cruise control actuator? Why would a non-cruise control vehicle have one?

I have owned the car 6 years and have the original owners manual, and the engine number checks out as the original.
