Had mine flushed by these guys last week. Great service, very pleased. It has fixing a few issues I was having. Shuddering and the taco waving up and down at about 1800 rpm as if was not sure about going down a gear. Any all sorted. They also found and advised on a few other issues. I have done 278K miles in my Disco and still sweet!

Wish I'd seen this a year ago. My D3 is at 133,000 miles and since I bought it at 120,000 it had variable revs on cruise control from the outset... then it started to shudder under load in 3rd gear (about 2000rpm). At this point I had the rear prop bearing changed (no difference) and then the gearbox fluid changed (no difference)... and the shudder was getting worse. Only then was this megaflush solution mentioned (talking to the right people at last!). £350 for the flush - or £3,500 for a replacement gearbox and TC. The final symptom appeared on the drive to my chosen workshop to get this done - variable revs when being driven normally. The difference was staggering. Rock-steady revs, much less transmission noise, silky-smooth changes and NO JUDDERING! That was done a month ago, so whilst the effects are immediate and fantastic, I can't say anything about longevity... I suppose it will depend upon how far gone the box was in the first place. The LR advice to change at 150,000 miles is little short of criminal negligence since the fluid manufacturer state the fluid should be changed at 120,000 miles and ZF state the box should be FLUSHED at 80,000 miles. Unfortunately even the Haynes manual has fallen for the Land Rover lie; ignore them.

I had this done on my TDV6, made a big difference. Much better gear changes, smooth and no shudder. the cost £200 inc vat. 10/2014. Very friendly garage and happy to help over the phone when I phoned for advice.

This is not done anymore in my area due to solids in the gearbox filter being dislodged during the process and then being left in the gearbox to cause problems. Shops are now going back to changing the pan filter and fluid.

Very Nice. I'm thinking of buying a D3 and would like to get this done. Is the previously mentioned price of £200 inc VAT correct?
@P42PKE9 жыл бұрын
Its now £250 inc, due to some vehicles needing more oil to flush and come through clear. That's what I was told last week.

If you remove the gearbox lower cover and filter and renew the lower cover and filter, do you still need to do a mega flush?
@markrich14627 жыл бұрын
The issue is that you are still not getting the dirty oil out of the cooler and pipe work. This is why we advice regular oil changes by flushing.

Not just red ATF no correct oil to the correct spec just not showing our supplier - good business practice as we are ask often where to buy the oil by other Land Rover garages and why should we tell them after we did the work to find a supplier

@TerrainVehicles7 жыл бұрын
Hi - can you confirm what vehicle you have please - A Discovery 3 is £250 incl. and takes about 1.5 hours - you can watch some of it but as normal you are not insured in a workshop so we will only be able to take you in for a short time.

Does the machine have a filter to make sure the oil is filtered before it goes into the gearbox?
@markrich14627 жыл бұрын
It is new clean oil going in - engine oil is not filtered when it is put in to the engine so why this oil

No the dirty oil is separate in the machine and goes in to the separate container - should see the two containers in the video one clean oil and one dirty oil that has been remove - Hope this helps and thanks for looking and asking- Mark

Why are you using red ATF fluid when the correct ZF fluid is yellow?
@TerrainVehicles5 жыл бұрын
The colour of the oil is only a dye and the oil we use (which is the correct spec) is dyed red.

Terrain Vehicles may I ask what brand of oil this is? I believe the spec is Shell M1357.4
@TerrainVehicles5 жыл бұрын
Andrew Goodman Hi sorry we are asked this by other garages often but having spent a long time researching the oils back in 2012 when we started offering this service we do not release this info - however the oil meets the ZF spec and we will happily give you the spec details at time of doing the work.
@Playingbyear5 жыл бұрын
Terrain Vehicles I was just curious. I see a big disparity between the cost of one oil (to shell spec) and the ZF lifeguard 6 fluid. It’s a black hole of a subject, and as you’ve demonstrated, people don’t share information. This just makes the situation even worse as people are reluctant to move. I’m not a garage, just a disco4 owner looking to be informed.

The solids in the filter will be reducing the oil flow to the gearbox causing more damage to the gearbox - Also very few of these machines in the UK due to the cost of the equipment so the average garage and many gearbox specialists are not able to carry out this type of service so can only drain and refill / change filter or worse still change the complete gearbox
