Hello all

Just recently picked up a nice one owner vrx after the last car (SRI Cruise) got written off because ol mate didn't want to stop at the stop sign!

Anyways the vrx is nice and other than throwing on some bits like panel filter/ suspension and having the local exhaust shop fab up a new muffler to let it make some noise I will be keeping it stock.....

Is there anyone around the Newcastle area that has experience working on or is recommended by anyone on here to take it too?

Cheers mate, I was hoping there would be! It is always good to go to a shop that knows what to look out for on particular models.

Thanks mate will do, do you work at Brambles? We have only been in Newy for a couple of years and I am struggling to find a decent workshop to service our cars
