Gearbox & diff oil change

[Jayp350z]

Does anyone know of any good/cheap places in the Northamptonshire area for a gearbox & diff oil change?

 

I've just been quoted £80 +vat by a friend of a friend which seemed quite a lot to me

 

I've already bought the fluids from Alex so it's just the service I need.

I can't help you with a garage recomendation James, but hopefully some one will be along with a better geographical understanding of the area.

 

It will take a garage with the car on a ramp around 15 minutes to drain and refill the transmission and diff.

If you were local to me I`d do it for a drink, so long as you took your smelly oil away with you

Lockwood & Greenwood in Manchester did these for me this week - charged 1½ hours to do both Gearbox & Rear Diff at £49 / hr (VAT on top at the end, though!)

if youve got a set of stands and a jack. do it yourself. its not hard.

I'm all sorted now. 1 hour labour at £52 inc Vat which seems much more reasonable.

 

I didn't think it's a hard job and although I do a lot of the work on my cars myself I've never really touched the gearbox or diff so thought I'd better get it done professionally.

 

I'll probably ask if I can watch though so I no how to do it myself next time.
