Gearbox fluid change Northamptonshire/Leicestershire area?

Can anyone recommend a specialist to do a transmission fluind change on my 4.4 TDV8. I'm looking for a garage located somwhere in or around the Northamptonshire/Leicestershire boarder area?
Just coming up to 69,000 miles, is there any other work that should be done to the box at the same time? The rest of the car is all serviced up to date, it even passed its MOT yesterday with no advisories.

Not too difficult to do yourself - plenty of info on here as to how. As an aside, whether you do it yourself, or have it done, replace the sealing sleeve where the wiring loom goes in to the gearbox - less than £10 to buy, but you have to replace it with the gearbox sump pan removed (as this is the only way to get at the retaining clip).

Wasn't aware of the fact this sleeve fails when I drained and re-filled my gearbox about 18 months ago, end result now have to dump £175 worth of transmission fluid to change a £10 seal !! Big Cry Big Cry 2006 (56 Reg) 4.4 V8 Vogue In Bonatti Grey (Gorgeous!!)

Thanks Ray, I thought my box on the 4.4 TDV8 was sealed for life and required a specialist company to pump the new in and the old out. My Independent garage didn't want to do it, I will investigate a little further.
