There's like about 2 auto Starions in the whole of Australia. Not sure if anybody here can help :?

Only two?

Your best bet would be to try the US starquest forums.

if nothing on Starquest.com, try 26liter.us and send a message to a guy called Gary. He may be able to help you out, or at least point you in the right direction.
