Hi again John,

hmmm Cruise control actuator... I can feel a retro fit coming on! lol

well i am going to do a service on her and (hopefully) get a new MAF
and maybe clean out the throttle body and try to sort this IAC valve
because I am going to an event at Santa Pod next month where there
will be a dyno and some tuning experts giving advice so at least i
will know if its relatively healthy from the power figure!

I have got my eye on a leather interior from a breakers at the momemt
for mine, fitting really as my drivers seat mooves a little under
braking!!!

your KL is (was) beautiful mate, a credit to ya!

lexus must be a bit of a comedown for driving pleasure, I bet you
drive the lexus slower than you used to the mazda! lol

Glen
