After quite a bit of looking around, I finally got myself an AU. It’s a series 1 Futura Wagon in black. I’ve been sorting out a few minor maintenance issues. So far I’ve replaced the power antenna mast, changed engine oil and filter, air filter and diff oil. It didn’t really have much of a service history so I’m going over the whole thing to get it sorted.

I have a few questions which I’m hoping someone might be able to help with:

Can anyone recommend a reputable Auto Transmission Workshop on the northside of Brisbane to carry out a service on my auto trans and an approximate cost?

Are there any recommended wreckers around Brisbane for AU parts?

The car has a factory fitted double din stereo with tape deck and CD stacker control. Are brand new stackers available to suit? I don’t think I would want a second hand stacker unless it had some sort of warranty. Otherwise I may just fit an aftermarket single din cd player…I assume in that case I’d lose the steering wheel remote functions and power antenna functions?

I have to refit the seatbelt trim panels on the drivers side. The seatbelts are held down with some big 6 point torx bolts. Does anyone know where I can buy big torx drivers to suit? I believe the steering wheel is also retained with a big torx fastener. If there is a lot of Torx fasteners around the car maybe it would be good to get a set?

Thanks for any assistance.
