what did you do to your car today?

It's a shallow head on the sump plug combine that with the chamfer you find on the edge of most sockets and spanners it leaves very little contact surface and makes it very easy to round off.

Considering the later ecotecs use a 24mm thread there is heaps of room to have created a sump plug with a internal hex or square drive like a lot of transmissions or diffs have and eliminated the issue all together!

Headlight globes on the FG as the drivers side blew. Drivers side took 2 minutes, very tight squeeze between the battery but just enough clearance.
Passenger side had to remove the intake snorkel and entire air box assembly to get access and then the engineers in their wisdom put the A/C tube in the middle of the only space you can access the globe. It was definitely do-able but bloody stupid.

Pulled the door card off the left rear door to fix the water leak, and as I suspected the thin plastic cover behind it had come unstuck from the door at the bottom. Had a roll of that black sticky crap so pulled the whole lot off, put the new stuff on and heated it up with a heat gun till it was tacky and stuck it to the door. Hosed door and windows to see if it leaked Used the heat gun to dry carpet and underfelt and assembled door. Seriously thinking about selling the commodore.

Check out the Kia Cerato GT. Similar size, and top of the line for that model with pretty much every option on them (sensors. Camera, lane assist. Etc etc)

Gave her a quick wash and vacuum while the weather was fine. Mainly to see if the leak is fixed. So far so good.
