That's reassuring to know. Mine was done by the previous owner at 114km's and I have the receipt for chf 6500 (that's £4.5k!) to proove it! EUR2k sounds like a very good deal indeed.

I think the way to go is to change the oil every other year or 25ish thousand miles then you don't build up the rubbish... Haven't had a customers fail now in a long long time that keeps to these rules... Some have covered over 200k |

Like KurtVerbose, i'm in the same situation. Mine has got a new gearbox by the previous owner at 130km's ... and now it has 193km's, works great but looking forward i'm afraid what to do when it goes down!

If its done 60,000K since, why not service it before its too late and give yourself some piece of mind? |

Maybe he can't undo the fill plug as well.

It depends how many miles per anum you do, plus the quality of oil you use... Servicing should be carries out annually if you do not achieve the milage on your service meter... I always change my own every year but only do around 4-6k a year, always using a very good quality fully synthetic oil...

Does anyone have the contact details for this company in Bielefeld? The gearbox on my RR is starting to die, and I am looking for a good place to get it done. Also... does this company use the SONAX valves? |
