England 2007 Range Rover Vogue TDV8 Java Black
Megaflush in London

Hello to all.

I am new to the forum and after several years of being a LR fan and owner i have finally upgraded to a 2007 Range Rover.
I like to keep my cars in good order and often find that owner forums are the best place to keep informed so i hope to continue with this.

The car is in good condition with 70k on the clock. I have been reading that a flush of the transmission has been recommended by many owners despite LR saying that the sealed unit is good for life. The process i have seen mentioned a lot is called a Megaflush. The theory behind it seems very good but when i looked into having this done i have failed to find anywhere local (London) that offers the service.

Are any of you aware of a place that offers this service. I am based in Croydon so south London is preferred but i am happy to travel for a decent service.

How many of you have had this procedure carried out on your cars, is it a good idea and what should i expect to pay.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Challenger 4x4 in Surrey are a respected garage. There's a Land Rover garage in Peasmarsh but they've recently been taken over by Hunters so no idea what they're like now. I seem to remember members here recommend Lookers in Park Royal as well.

No idea on cost but I did mine myself and the oil isn't cheap, you need an absolute minimum of about 14 litres for a double flush and the cheapest I've seen is Island 4x4 at about £12 per litre. Takes a couple of hours I would think if you know what you're doing and have the kit. Ed

What are they called? It may be worth the drive if they are recommended. Only 20 miles away.

Do they flush or just drain and refill?
