Default In need of a major service/overhaul

Hi guys,

I have been on and off on this forum and am normally a silent reader. Before anything else, I must say that I am not a very technical person and dont know much about cars and the mechanics involved.
I stuffed up my engine last year (my own fault) and got it replaced. The car has been running alright since then, although the first two weeks after the engine got replaced were fantastic, and afterwards, I have been having those surge issues as well where sometimes it runs really well and seems powerful and other times, it absolutely struggles. I dont know much about engine tuning etc. but feel that it is in need of a nice tune and a nice major service where I get all the main stuff checked and adjusted.

I am based in Melbourne and looking for a good mechanic that knows cougars and would be able to help get the service etc. done. I am also considering getting all the filters and leads etc. replaced. Would replacing the injectors be worth it? I know the breaks need doing as well.

I know a few of you are from Melbourne. I have had the pleasure of meeting Yogi who has been fantastic help. Any suggestions yogi and others? I dont really wana go to ford because I know they overcharge and I dont want to spend bucketloads on this.

Can someone please tell me what to buy from Rockauto so I could get these parts replaced?

Many thanks,
Oz
