All done 👍
As above, takes a while for 8 speeds to cool down but Bodsy had 4 other motors to do. Took most of the day and I learnt a lot from the maestro...

Old oil wasn’t too bad. Some of the other motors on the day had Guinness coloured oil
Hats off to Ian, professional, tidy, clean, informative. I would 100% recommend

The worst was the oldest car with less miles than some of the younger cars. As ever, oil ages with time All 6 speeds.

Megaflush today

Had my gearbox flushed today (ZF 6HP26) at Keith Gott Landrover near Alton. This is at 90,560 miles, I think it's the first time the gearbox oil's been changed and it was well due to be done, picture of sample drained from the box prior to flushing:

They flushed and filled the box using a Wynn's megaflush machine, it took 12 litres in total which includes an allowance for the flushing which is then discarded. Here's what the new oil should look like (on the right side, thanks to RRPhil for this figure):

Total cost £534.47 and the usual swift, friendly service from the Keith Gott service team. I was getting the occasional shunt on downshifts, so it will be interesting to see what the difference now is. I'll repeat the process along with a filter change when the Rangie hits 125,000 miles.

Salute, fanders

2007 Range Rover Vogue Supercharged Zambezi Silver

I had Bodsy round to do my gearbox and transmissions as a "preventative" as I wasn't experiencing any issues.
post Bodsy, I can't believe how smooth it is.
I'd just grown accustomed to how lumpy it was, so I'd recommend Bodsy if you have any doubts

I'd consider it, but the fact he hasn't responded to a Facebook message (I can't see any other way to contact him) 2 weeks later doesn't fill me with confidence. Read lots of good things about the guy on here, but Comms so far is forcing me to look elsewhere 2011 Vogue SE Tdv8 FFRR
