Auto Gearbox Specialists & Running Update

Post by RiDDO » Thu Dec 18, 2014 7:47 pm

Hi Folks,

Hope you're all well?

Does anyone know of a auto gearbox specialist in the Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, or Nottinghamshire area? No specific problems, but approaching the 50K miles and thinking about getting the gearbox serviced. Any of you wizened old hands recommend anyone? I'm based in Grantham (Lincs), if I have to travel further and use a 'forum recommended' specialist I will.

2 years and 26,000 miles of 2nd X5 ownership, with no problems to report! AUC Warranty replaced a couple of glow plugs, bluetooth thingy in the armrest died, another warranty job, but other than that it's all been plain sailing. Renewed the AUC warranty for a third year in October just to be on the 'safe' side. Apart from 'annual' servicing (I don't like the green lights) all that's been required from a consumable perspective is a battery, tyres, and front discs and pads. Oh, I treated X to a KDS check in the summer too, all in the green. All the work is carried out by Soper in Lincoln. I only deal with one individual, and he looks after me, can't fault him/them!

Other than my Jason re-map, new Xenon bulbs (when I bought the X), and the Intravee that's it for mods! If it ain't broke, don't fix or upgrade it!

Seasons Greetings.

As I recall, the UK ZF experts are based in Nottingham. Have a Google.
