Thanks Stan; that’s what I had heard, and they’re certainly very friendly… but they’re one of the places I contacted: won’t drop the valve body. I’ve now contacted a bmw specialist that works on these gearboxes, and says they change the “figure 8” seal… am thinking they mean the bridge seal, so we’ll see. |

Having not heard from a mobile gearbox guy I need my 8 speed doing as well. Can you let me know who you have found (unless its Grosvenor in Reading) please? Thanks |

Ah…. What’s the problem with Grosvenor? That’s the place I’ve contacted.

Nothing wrong with them I just thought they were pricey, maybe I just need to re-align my expectations...Would be good hear how you get on with them |

Well, Grosvenor is out; their response: “Sadly, although they are similar there are a few differences. I would recommend a local Landrover specialist called 4x4 Matt.”

Regarding the place in Dartford, iIf it comes down to it, I'll certainly consider driving over there to get it done. Striking out at the moment, but I'll wait to hear back from this 4x4matt place. Thanks. |

Thanks DrRob; I got my first positive response from the place you recommended in Dartford… just waiting now for his price. Given that I have to head that way anyway (to go to Prague), it may be the right place! |

Just putting it out there. I have done the gearbox service including changing the mechantronic sleeve and valve seal (which are additional bits of work) on the driveway.

Yes, I’m actually being quoted 550 at the places that’ll do the oil, sump, and mechatronic sleeve.

You're much braver than I am! I certainly wouldn't trust driving a car bought unseen long distance until i had built some trust in it.

Yes, with regards to immediately going on a cross-EU drive with a car I’ve bought site unseen (and a Land Rover at that), I can’t really justify it to myself so I won’t try explaining to anyone else… it’s admittedly semi-insane.
