Very low cost...
One better indication would be which workshop ?[/i] BREXIT - done properly.

Depends what you mean by 'service', if it's just an oil change, then that is damned expensive.

As have slight oil leak under sub and driving to Spain with the family in a couple of weeks and worried that on a long journey oil will get very hot and thinner and leak out faster? All suggestions welcome
Thanks

Work shop is a friend of my mechanic that does GBoxes, I'm just a bit worried what else may be found once the job starts as already eating into our spending money.

If it involves a certain amount of dismantling and gasket / seal changing, and a complete oil change, then that price I'd say, is probably not excessive.....Providing they cure the leak.

If I was doing it - and I will be soon - I'd get this changed*:

but it is paramount the mechatronic unit isn't damaged when it is being changed.
* well, I would, because mine is leaking, but only 300ml in the last 18 months by the look of it. Black 05 TDV6 HSE Auto

Does anyone know if I need to get a sump in order to get a gasket ? As I'm told that you Gant just get the gasket and that they come together

Thanks Mickey, so does £480.00 sound about right parts and labour for the service of the gear box?
