I’ve been trying to track down a few genuine replacement parts for a Holden Cruze and it’s been a bit of a struggle. The main thing I’m stuck on is small but annoying parts like window regulators and a specific ECU sensor that doesn’t seem to pop up anywhere reliable. I can find aftermarket versions, but getting anything genuine that actually fits properly feels like a bit of a hunt these days. How are you actually managing to source the harder to find stuff without ending up stuck waiting endlessly or settling for parts that don’t quite feel right?

VFACTS just dropped the April 2026 numbers and it’s wild. BYD is now second only to Toyota, beating out Mazda, Kia, and Ford. The Sealion 7 alone moved 1,780 units last month. Do you think this "podium finish" will finally kill the "cheap Chinese car" stigma, or is the 140% year-on-year growth just a result of people fleeing high petrol prices? Also, how are the service centers handling this massive influx- are you finding it harder to book a service now?

The latest policy update mentioned that from 2027-2029, only EVs under $75,000 will keep the high-level incentives, while anything above that (but under the LCT threshold) drops to a 25% discount. If you were looking at a Model Y Performance or a Polestar 4, are you suddenly pivoting to a cheaper trim to stay under that $75k "safe zone"? Does the extra $5k–$10k in tax over a 3-year lease make the luxury trims a "bad" financial move now

There’s so many options like lift kits, tyres, canopy, etc. What’s the one upgrade that actually made the biggest difference for you?
