Holden Commodore: Thermostat gauge

The important thing about where the needle sits is not so much where it sits on the scale, but that it’s always in that position. In other words you need to be concerned if it suddenly starts to sit in a different position to normal. I wouldn’t expect the needle to move much going up or down hills, normally they stay pretty much in the same position. Check that the thermostat is the correct one, and that it’s not stuck.

Misfiring Commodore Lumina

It’s probably an ignition issue so start by checking the spark plugs and leads, and perhaps replace them if they haven’t been replaced in a while.

Ask Smithy Xtra Commodore excess water use

Have a mechanic do a leak check on the head gasket to see if it isn’t leaking there.

Ask Smithy Xtra incorrect fuel gauge

It’s normal practice for carmakers to leave a small reserve in the fuel tank when the gauge indicates that the tank is empty so you don’t completely run out of fuel before you get to a service station. If you really wanted to have the gauge recalibrated take it to an automotive instrument maker.
