Its only just had a box oil change at 85k, well at least the garage i took it to said so. I did find that the MPG increased upto about 24.6 avg but after but recently its down to 21 at best so im hoping thats linked with the brakes and not my heavy foot i shall find out on the weekend hopefullywhere theres a wil theres a way!
Just checked the wheels for bearing wear and have only noticed that they there is lateral movement in both front wheels . I checked the ball end joints on the wheel side and didnt notice any "play", havent had time to check the inner ones though!
Any ideas and is it costly?
Cheers in advance

Had the same problem. Changed the gear oil, now like a new car! Best money I ever spent. See my thread above for the cheapest solution. Still have enough oil left actually for a double flush and refil if anyone interested.D3 TDV6 HSE 2008 Buckingham Blue (current)
