Failure of cruise control
Driving with the cruise on for 60-65 minutes, I stop for a stretch, which takes around 10-15 minutes. Back on the road cruise control will not set, and it takes around 25 minutes before I can set it again.

You are supposed to switch cruise off before you switch off the engine. Do not switch off with cruise still engaged.
