D4 8speed gearbox flush
Hi, All.
I wonder if any of you guys have an experience with JLR Essex at Brentwood. I've booked them for gearbox flush for next week and it will cost £399. What are your thoughts. MY14 D4 3.0 SDV6 HSE in Loire Blue

My thoughts are that I'd use Ian Bodsworth (Bodsy) on here if at all possible over a JLR dealer...Jim

Sounds a lot of money to me... think mine cost around £200 up with Broadfield near Dunmow (similar distance for you to go).I want to see the sweets before I get into your windowless van... I'm not stupid!

Thank you gents. Much appreciated
Spoke with Broadfield at Dunmow - they are extremely busy and taking booking 3 weeks in advance at the moment Oil change + new filter will cost around £400.
Automatix at Dartford can do for around £420 + vat.
Do any of You have Ian's (Bodsy) contact?MY14 D4 3.0 SDV6 HSE in Loire Blue
