haha yeah, i feel kinda bad about that comment, but surely people must understand the concept of a forum with specific discussion topics? lol he didn't even state what model or specifics of the part he was after, so i couldn't of even answered it properly if i wanted to.
on the lingo topic, i often notice this too. other than the usual hood/bonnet, trunk/boot, etc differences and my general kiwi slang used, the main one i have to remind myself to say is 'minitruck' instead of 'car'. 'minitruck' isn't really in kiwi's vocabulary normally, and 'truck' here is only used to describe 18 wheelers etc. ie. anything smaller than a proper transportation truck (like suv's, midsize or large 'trucks', etc) all get dumped under the umbrella of 'cars' here haha

I classify everything as cars, except 18 wheelers too, but that's cause my parents drive them. I even have to correct myself from calling mini trucks cars...
