Got some small issude on my dads car, just wondering if anyone knows anything about the issue....Below are the details!

Any help is much appreciated

Problem 1. 1990 Esprit Turbo SE

originally purchased with ECU issue

about 4K miles since complete engine rebuild and Turbo rehaul

Now when it accelerates hard in 2nd and 3rd, it tends to begin to stall at about 3,500rpm (while on Full Boost mode)

only way to sort it is to either slow down or change gear

My Dads had a look and come up with either Wastegate is sticking or one of
the Emission sensors

Can anyone think of anything?

Problem 2. I need a decent leather repair kit, Black leather with red stiching (Red stiching is fading, but not a problem)

Leather on Glovebox and Centre console has become scratched (not large tear patches) it's probably small nail scratches

can anyone suggest a good kit?

Problem 3. yet again with the interior, Leather on the seats has become stretched and ruckled, does anyone have a solution to fix this?

Thanks for any help!

Do you have a freescan log? That will point you in the right direction as you'll either see any errors or see what's happening with the fuelling etc. There are some real experts on http://www.thelotusforums.com who can help and there are probably already topics with the same problem as you're having.

Gliptone do a nice kit, their website is http://www.liquidleather.com/
