As on our friends car here i have found the only Euro's to have heat controllecd airslides are ones that have been bodged to rectify a high idle situation. A lot can happen to a car over 23 years.
Hey Brisbane!

My parents live in NSW

Do you mean my hi cold idle?

Also it really is a 82 500 SEC
Who knows
it had to be converted to pass emission when it was imprted
Who knows what they did...


Luckily in drive the idle is where it should be

Still chasing the reasons

Boy I wish I had this car in Australia
except it woudln't like the dirt roads to the farm house...
