Help needed

Anyone know of a DECENT mobile mechanic in Berkshire who can change my automatic transmission fluid for me? (my local LR dealer want £1200, they can Censored right off) I like to do as much as I can myself, but now disabled, getting under the car is now pretty much impossible. Need it done properly though, not just drained via drain plug. RRS SDV6 HSE Black Edition +

Thanks mate, tried them, £600, going in right direction but still too high, I think £200 labour is expensive, but am prepared to pay that, plus parts, which I got for £180 RRS SDV6 HSE Black Edition +

If it's a megaflush, they probably won't let you supply the oil. And oil is the only parts used. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

Paid £300 a couple of years ago, and the same a couple of months ago, at my local Indie.

I believe the flushing machine needs more than the gearbox oil capacity to do its job properly.

got the filter as well, it's built into the gearbox sump now, not separate, so far the only ones who would not use supplied parts was my local LR dealer, which is fair enough. RRS SDV6 HSE Black Edition +

It's not only LR vehicles that have the 'megaflush' treatment, so it might be possible to find an automatic gearbox specialist who might do this for you.

The same gearbox is fitted to many cars, BMWs, Mercs etc.

Hi Dave

I'm in West Sussex, would you mind sharing the name of this independent?

Cheers J

Sorry - I've only just seen your message ( I don't seem to be getting all the emails from the site at the ,moment).

My Indie is Groombridges in Heathfield, East Sussex. 01435 863228. If you mention RRS they'll probably put you on to Lee. If you do go (or even if you just talk to them on the phone) you may be surprised that its not some glitzy place with reception, coffee machine, shoe polishers, masseurs and the like. This is a good old traditional workshop but there is nothing they don't know about Land Rovers and Lee is their RRS expert. Robin
