Just like to say a big thank you to mikey for the gearbox flush yesterday. It's now as smooth as silk.

I would also like to add my thanks to DM for fixing my parking brake which recently packed up. After a lot of diy diagnostics I had resigned myself to having to replace the complete EPB module. As it was beyond my skills, I called on DM's services.
Within 10 minutes of meeting with him, he had diagnosed a bad power supply to the EPB. Within a further 10 minutes he had narrowed it down to, and located, a corroded splice in a wire which runs from the front to the back of the car which was causing high resistance. It was fixed very quickly and following a couple of software upgrades (clock on dash etc) I was on my way.
I was most impressed with his methodical approach to the problem and his knowledge of the vehicle systems. I can highly recommend DM.
Also thanks to Justin, the parts manager at Stratstone LR in Doncaster who supplied a replacement EPB module at a very good price and took it back with grace for a complete refund including postage. I should have believed DM when he said he had never been beaten fixing an EPB !

Gordon, surprised you noticed a difference with only 51k miles. Just goes to show you
Hugh, was expecting it to be a bit more challenging, but it's nice to have an easy fix every now and then
Thank you both for the kind words  My D3 Build Thread

Mikey,
Did you 'do' these cars in Aberdeenshire 
Are you still hoping to do a 'gearbox flush' tour soon? Stew,

I would not have said I had any real issues with gearbox before, no noise or vibration etc.but I do notice the difference, I guess the old oil was past its best at 7yrs old.well worth it in my opinion.
Thanks again
