I'm sure we could do it with my el-cheapo pressure sprayer and a bit of extra long hose Col Rolling with laughter Kev

Thumbs Up being at the bottom of the world gravity should help your pressure sprayer out a bit. Laughing

for megaflush. They upselled having the filter changed Car is on 116k miles...



Hi,
I would just confirm what they do with their Megaflush Question

as a Flush is normally some form of Transfusion of the oil to replace most of it, if they are suggesting replacing the filter then believe that involves dropping the transmission sump so wonder how they replace the oil, before or after filter changed, I dont know Confused

Always a good idea to change a filter mind, so just confirm what and how they do it.

and at your mileage its well worth doing Thumbs Up

Our 2006 we had a flush/transfusion on our drive done as preventative, no issues before or after
and the 2010 we had I dropped the oil with a plan to do a few more changes over the coming months, again preventative with no issues before or after

.......

but we then sold it before another change was done Rolling Eyes

I have slight vibration felt through the floor, seat, steering wheel at about 30mph to 40mph during moderate acceleration. Got my indie to test drive it just before Christmas and he's pretty sure that a gearbox "Powerflush" will cure it, There is a concern that it might be the torque converter on its way out if the flush doesn't work.
I last had it flushed by the same indie 3 years ago and 27,000 miles ago. Cost then was £252. It goes in this Thursday so I'll report back on developments if that helps the OP or anyone else for that matter

I’m all booked in the Bodsy now. He will be doing megaflush but not changing filter so sounds good to me! Offers a huge list of other services too which I might be sucked in to lol. Thanks

Just back from my Indie. Cost of the Powerflush including an additive (?) was £277 and no vibration. If that lasts another 20,000 miles or so before I need to fork out on a new torque converter, then I'm happy. Especially as I'm not doing many miles at the moment. Robin

Yep I’m definitely interested in the mapping too. What is the diffs and transfer box oil change? Did notice that on his price list but no idea what it is for? Thanks

Diffs = front and rear axles. Do it.
Transfer box = the 4x4 bit. Do it.
Preventative maintenance is key.
Remap = for yours the ECU will need to be removed and sent away. He'll tell you that. Visitor from fullfatrr.com

^^^ as above. The fluids are the life blood of your components. It's important they are drained and refilled at the required intervals to keep everything tip-top. Kev

Not a major concern but just thought would mention it if anyone was going to do the transmission oil themselves on a S/C, it would appear to have a different oil cooler although the principle is exactly the same, access to the pipes may even be easier than the 3.0L but obviously wouldn't know. I think I have marked flow direction correctly as haven't done the change yet just looking to see what is involved.



Cheers

It was a guess for me when I did the 3.0.

Just disconnect both and hold over the bucket whilst your assistant turns the engine on, Col. It's surprising how fast the fluid comes out Very Happy Kev
