    They moved to lincoln road in henderson, the old kirk motors mitsibishi site. The discount still applies as far as i know but it might pay for someone to check.

    I understand the Grey Lynn Service Manager has moved out to their West Auckland office, so if you want it serviced there, speak to the service manager and say you are with ClubVR4.
    We work to live, and to live is to drive a VR-4, around corners at speed. But it costs see here

    Hey dudes,
    Yeah, I had my car serviced there on Monday. Discount still applies, but the service manager seems to have changed.

    As an aside, I asked what kind of oil they used.. and the dude couldn't tell me but said they always use a lifter additive. I said I'd prefer a high grade oil and no additive, but they wouldn't be convinced. Not sure I'm entirely happy about that... Oh well...

    The lifter additive was also recommended to me. I think it helps lash adjuster noise. But I always insist on Mobil 1 and no additive. and the noise goes after 10 minutes anyhow.

    They couldn't tell me anything about the oil, except that it was semi-synthetic, and was right for the car.
    It's just I wasn't totally happy with the last oil they put in. Tappets started getting noisy around 3500k... I want something to last me the whole 5000k.
