Can anyone recommend a garage or mobile mechanic to give my zf auto box a professional mega flush? I have just spoken to my local indy garage and he says i just need to empty the old oil and put the new oil in so i dont think i want him to do it for me. I also want my transfer box with front and rear diff oil changing at the same time, how would i know if my vehicle has electronic lock as these need more oil apparently? So i need someone who has done this many times and who i can trust. My v8 has done 97,000 so its alittle over due but most ppl say its best to have it done. So is there anyone in yorkshire who you know i can trust and will do a perfect job?

Quattro autocare in Riccall,, had mine done there, give them a ring and they will sort you out,, consider getting some Dr tranny added while your at it 2010 RRS, TDV8

Ha mine done at Quattro earlier this year £280 including dr tranny. If it's a gen hst then it will have a locking rear diff which uses different oil. If it's not an hst it will not unless it was fitted as an optional extra. 2008 G4 RRSport TDV8 current

Just had a look at their website and they do look like a professional set up, I will give them a call tomorrow gogsy1956, I need some extra work done also plus a service and mot so i might just get them to do the lot if their price is resonable. Do you know their labour rate and what is DR tranny? Thanks

If I remember correctly the lad who runs it is x main dealer who set up on his own. Dr tranny is a auto gearbox additive. 2008 G4 RRSport TDV8 current

Thats good to hear, Its def worth the hour drive then.

Booked in at quattro as recommened thanks camelrock, The guy who i spoke to was called ben and he sounded like he knew what he was on about, Im having auto box megaflush with dr tranny (he recommends i have dr tranny added now even though i dont have a torque convertor issue) Oil changed in transfer box and both diffs. Also im having the auxiliary belt and tensioner changed plus a steering problem fixed as i have play in my steering wheel which im told is probably the lower steering column hopefully not too expensive to fix. Oh and i will ask them to register the new battery i had fitted seen as though RAC dont do that when they replace your battery. Full service aswell so it wont be a small bill just before christmas

My car has done nearly 98,000 is there anything else any one can think of i should change as preventative treatment for the miliege my cars done? What about water pump?

I had the dr tranny fitted, mine had 60k on the clock, think of it as preventative maintenance  2008 G4 RRSport TDV8 current

Thats what ben said its "preventative" and it only costs £20 extra so its a no brainer although others say wait until you get torque convertor issues then use it, otherwise its not needed.
