How to replace windscreen wiper blades in my 2012 Holden Cruze?
This shouldn’t be a difficult job and it’s a good task to ease yourself into maintaining your own vehicle. The simplest way to do this is to replace the entire blade and spine assembly. This will cost more than replacing just the rubber blade, but is very easy with just one catch to unclip (where the blade pivots on the wiper arm) before the whole assembly can be removed and replaced. You can google tutorial videos on this take which take you through the whole process. It should take only a couple of minutes.
If you’re really stumped by this, some parts stores offer a free fitting service for things like wiper blades. You may have to buy a new pair of blades to access this service, however. But if you watch the process and take note of how it works, you’ll be able to change your own blades in the future.

Engine oil is getting in the radiator of my 2016 Holden Cruze
The first conclusion many mechanics will arrive at is that the engine’s head gasket has blown, allowing the oil and coolant to mix. Have a look at the dipstick. If the engine oil is milky, then this is a very real possibility. Perhaps when the cylinder head was replaced, the gasket has not sealed properly.
But if the oil cooler was replaced because it was leaking into the radiator (which is pretty common) then you might find that the oil you’re still seeing is just residual oil from the previous failure, and not a problem at all. Even so, it would be wise to replace the coolant and flush the system to try to eradicate all traces of the old oil.
A workshop can perform a chemical-based test to see if the head gasket is leaking. It’s worth the relatively small cost to rule this out and begin to look elsewhere.

Are there known transmission problems with the 2015 Holden Cruze?
The most problematic of the Cruze transmissions were the six-speed automatic fitted to Cruzes built between 2011 and 2013. Holden actually instituted a special repair program for owners of these cars and extended the warranty period on those that had been repaired under the terms of that program.
The 2015 car you’re looking at should not have these problems, but the Cruze itself was plague by a long list of other faults including oil and coolant leaks, overheating, cracked cylinder heads and more. To be fair, the later the build date, the less likely the problems were to occur, but any Cruze needs a careful, independent inspection before money changes hands.

Can I put a 2010 Holden Cruze bootlid on a 2013 model
On the surface, the two bootlids look very much alike. In shape, they may well be identical, but there's a catch. In 2012, Holden switched from the fully-imported Cruze to a locally built version of the same car. Which means that the two versions were painted in completely different factories (different countries, in fact) and the chances of two blues or reds or even whites colour-matching exactly are pretty slim.
If you look at the locally made Cruze line-up, you'll also see that many of the colours were shared with the Holden Commodore range (built in the same factory). The other thing to consider is that the paint on these cars was never stellar quality, and a decade or so of varying UV radiation exposure might mean that even two bootlids that started out the same colour, may not be now.
Compare the two bootlids in strong sunlight to gauge whether the colours actually match before committing to the swap. That said, if you do manage to match two bootlids in an identical colour, it will be a lot cheaper than having one resprayed.
