If you or a family member are paid up with an Auto Club (RAA, RACV, RACQ, NRMA etc) call them and get the problem diagnosed. If not a member, it might even bee in your best interests to join (for future requirements - old Commodores can get a bit temperamental and cause problems). Good luck

How low was the fuel level when you filled up , may have sucked some debris up into the lines ,

Mechanic has said fault showed up as drive train (I think) replaced with a second hand one but still wouldn't start, he now thinks the wrong part was sent but haven't heard from him today so not sure what's happening with it!!!
