Hi,
My disco 05 TDV6 is now out of warranty and I need to have the gearbox oil flushed. I got a quote from Gearbox centre midrand for R3500.00 excl vat for a double flush.
According to Landrover Polokwane my car is due for its 120000km service (No 10 in the book as I only have 103000km on my car  ) and that also includes a gearbox and diff oil replacement - total cost including service R6500.00 (They however only charge me 2x gearbox oil @R630 and 2x Diff oil @R821 - this seem very cheap )
Does this seem correct?
Do Land Rover only top up the oil or do they drain and refill - no "flush"?
I'm on my way to gearbox centre tomorrow so I need to make a decision sometime today.
Thanx for you input. 11 Disco 4 SDV6 HSE

Sean does pretty good work , so no problem using him . I doubt LR is doing a flush at the prices quoted , mine was done under warranty and the gearbox alone was R9000

Yes it was a dubble flush. The drained the oil, filled, drove for about 5km's, drained the oil again then replaced the sump/filter and refill with oil. R3500 excl vat.
They also replaced the transfercase oil for R300 excl vat.
Very happy with the results - no more juddering and very smooth gear changes! 11 Disco 4 SDV6 HSE

What happened, did they change the gearbox....
Mine is on 96,000 and I need to do oil change and filter - I tow the Xplorer too, so changes will be more frequent.

Cost is mostly the oil dealers charge $80 a litre here. Is there a ZF SA? If so get it from them. It needs to be the right spec or it can cause problems. “There are only three sports: bullfighting, motor racing, and mountaineering; all the rest are merely gamesâ€
