Hi All, any recommendations around Peterborough area for a Gearbox flush? Mobile would be better.
Mines a 2012 8 speed, no problems but due gearbox service.

Avenger 4x4 in Peterborough 01733 266690/ 301118 did mine for me , great independent specialist.

Thanks Just called them, price seems fair but they dont use genuine ZF oil.

Does anyone know if the 8 speed filter change required the sub frame cross member to be dropped, I read that the 8 speed pan isnt as deep as the 6 speed do it isnt as much an issue.

Im thinking to do the job myself but with OE fluid and filter, I have means of measuring the oil temp etc for the filling part of the job, also im aware of how to get almost all the old oil out and not just the half from a standard drain so the job doesnt phase me. as long as getting the pan out isnt an issue.

I think on the 6 speed the old filter can be replaced with a metal one with separate pan to avoid taking the cross member out but ideally want to know from anyone with 8 speed experience if this is the same story.

8 speed has an in line thermostatic valve to oil cooler.
I’d get it Megaflushed by a pro
Bodsy does loads and I see mobile.

Thanks, Yeah I can monitor the temp to make sure the valve opens otherwise the box in underfilled
can anyone corroborate the things I have read about Flushing causing potential problems in gearboxes later on? Planet Gears in Peterborough (ZF Agent) told me this too or is it chaf? They basically told me that flushing is a last resort when you have problems.

I read this blog and decided not to go with a mega flush but instead, a gearbox service.

If we all point our RR's in the same direction and accelerate at the same time can we turn back time?
