Steering wheel
I've read of a couple of people that have changed wheels for either the radio or cruise control. In those 2 cases, the wiring was apparently in place but it still took the dealer to turn something on to make it work. Sorry, only thing I know on the subject.

I would not use lucas in these engines. To the best of my knowledge it just thickens the oil. I have a friend that works at a dealership and he told me thick oil is not recommended because the oil passages in the heads are small. Maybe you could just use 5w30 instead of 5w20 especially if your in a warmer part of the country.
