Default Manual BF XR8, no more clunky!!

Just got my XR8 serviced. Had the engine oil, filter, diff oil, air filter replaced. Car has only done 10,000 but since we are heading up north next month fishing I thought I would do it with all new lubricants..... Biggest surprise was there is no more clunking from the dive train. Checked the invoice and I see a diff aditive at $108.63. Now even though I am very happy that the car does clunk anymore, I wonder how often I will have to pay for this additive to keep the noise at bay????

Last night I spoke to a mate of mine who lives there and although it's still raining, as it has been for some time, they're not expecting any problems.
The locals reckon the rains over the past few weeks have been the heaviest in 50 years.
Owning an investment property there isn't a bad idea as property values have really jumped.

Sorry to go of thread there!
