car came back today after having a replacement engine fitted. Very happy except the throttle had a lot of play in it, I tightened the cable and now it is fine however the other cable is now very slack I assume this is the kickdown cable ? but it doesn't have the ability to take the slack out of it or am I being a complete arse ?

Simple job,

Just loosen the nut on the LH side of the cable bracket, adjust nut on the opposite side until slack is out of cable & re-tighten both nuts.

That's the cruise control cable.
Does your cruise control work ok? If so I wouldn't start messing.
