I normally play around with Mitsubishi Starions.
Factory fuel filter is a specialised peice in its shape. a Hyundai fuel filter is exactly the same just a fraction of the cost.

Got to love mark up on supposidly special parts.

No it isn't. AU IRS was double wishbone, Commodore utes with IRS were either semi-trailing arm or the current multi link.

Years ago I pulled the interior light cover off a VR/VS, and it had a Ford logo on it.

How about...

Ford Maverick -Nissan Patrol
Nissan Pulsar -Holden Astra

So Ford is sort of related to Holden?

If you check the alternator in an E-Series falcon, the factory one should have a Mitsubishi logo on it.
