When i fill through the shifter hole, take out the plug on the side that is meant for filling it and just pour in through the shifter hole and get a mate to tell you when it starts coming out of the side hole, then its full.

Yea, i meant powder coating, i was overly tired last night, probably should have posted that today. Any places that you guys would recommend?

Marshall Powder Coaters in Wingfield did my covers... cheap as too

Easy. Jack up car, undo plug on the bottom of the gearbox, drain, replace plug, and top up either through the plug on the side of the box (hand pump is very helpful in this instance) or through the shifter hole (with the shifter removed).

If filling through the plug on the side, stop filling when the fluid starts coming out (obvious).

If filling through the shifter hole, just add the prescribed amount of fluid (I can't tell you how much).

Thanks again guys

Seconded.

Or Art Metal Coatings in Holden Hill.

Avoid the place on Main North near Gepps cross like the plague.

That's kinda the look they were going for...

Interior is basically Cruze bits anyways (steering wheel, dash cluster etc etc)

The Holden owning fraternity will be up in arms.........the final model Commodore (going by predictions) and they FINALLY put the window controls in the armrest in the door

They also moved the boot release onto the drivers side. No idea why they had it in the glove box.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
