One of our Forum members here in Oz has re-built a 5L40E Hybrid using a imported 5L50E auto from the US ! So far so good; we are all watching intently as it seems these are the only real alternative.

i recall from my days of audi ownership that gearbox services are scheduled for something like every 3 years or 50k miles.....

On my 2010 TDV8 all of the LR maintenance schedules state "Replace automatic transmission fluid and filter every 10 years or 150,000 miles".

I would get the gearbox serviced every 30,000 miles, costs me around £200 to have it done. |

I was wondering the same thing. My dealer and my indie mechanic have both said not to touch it in my 2008 (nonSC) V8 petrol. The car has 110K miles. |

Picked my car up today I am now over £3200 poorer but the car is driving like new. I hadn't realised how bad it was running. One of the injectors was replaced and the engine now sounds so quiet and drives really smoothly.
