My dealer has just quoted me 341 quid, all in Shocked

Apparently the oil is 20 + VAT per litre and it requires 7 litres, add on the labour and it's a hideous total


So now we know it is done !!!!!

Now check with an Indy and I am sure the price will come down.

the oil , if like a BMW , is very specific and the operation does take time.

Let us see

Yes, you are correct about the BMW oil. The ONLY place that I could get the exact oil in the UK for my ' sealed for life ' BMW box (Manual) was at the dealer and I had to read the sticker on the gearbox to get the spec. They then sold me enough at a VERY reasonable price Thumbs Up FL2 HSE Auto Galway Green

ATF in auto box

I can now state that the auto box does come prefilled. i got the fraudulent £230 charged by my garage (Shields in Glasgow) refunded when I challenged them.

I hope you have got your mileage out of them / prinicple !

As coincidence would have it, after a lengthy dance an last letter from LR saying 'Case closed' I filed through MCOL (Small Claims track essentially) to take LR and the original selling Dealer - both as defendants for the money outstanding.
