The overall cost was £239.99 for the parts and oil plus two hours labour.
In my case the labour is £60 per hour plus VAT so two hours comes to £144 inc VAT.
A total cost of £383.99 to the penny.
The trick is finding a good garage who will accept you providing your own parts particularly for the gearbox service as the lifeguard 8 varies considerably depending on where you buy it from.
The garage I use have no issuse with me providing my own parts, however I only use genuine parts and have used the garage for over 7 years. I should point out when I have my old Honda Prelude serviced I don't bring my own service items as TGM Sport are Honda specialists.
Also Fleet is a little bit of a distance for you so you'll need to find a trusted garage. I certainly wouldn't have my gearbox oil changed unless I had 100% confidence that they had access to the temperature of the gearbox and could follow the ZF manufacturers instructions.
There is a guy in Dundee (MMP LandRover), who services Range Rover Sports/Discovery's, which also have ZF8 gearboxes.
If I were looking to have the work done in the Central Belt I would call him and talk through the the process, then make my own decision. He has posted a few articles on the
www.RRSport.co.uk forums on the ZF8 box.
Good luck
I should say after a 400mile long distance motorway haul the gearbox is working perfectly and the additional smoothness is also there at motorway/A road speeds.
