Default Australia's once strong components industry

When Ford, Holden, Toyota close it is claimed that 200,000 will be out of work, so I thought it would be interesting to make a list of components going into currently built 'Australian' cars that are imported?

The majority of high volume Ford coolant hoses went offshore to India over a year ago. Holden has gone the opposite way, the majority of coolant and vacuum hoses under the bonnet are Australian made back from China a few years ago.
