I just wondered if anyone has serviced their ZF 8HP gearbox? And if so whom did you use and how much did you pay?
I know you can get a genuine ZF sump and 8 litres of ZF Lifeguard 8 from Germany for €300.
(Incase anyone is lookng for an alternative to ZF Lifeguard then the Shell reference is L12108.)
Thanks

Usually the best guide is to go to ZF and find out what service kits they supply for their transmissions on the basis that they would know best.

What's interesting here is that whilst ZF sell kits for the 5 HP and 6 HP (the latter as used in the E60) they do not sell or provide any information on such kits for the 8HP series of transmissions. Wonder why?
