Gearbox oil change - garage recommendations in West Midlands

[warsi]

Morning all,

** Had a quick search but can't find a definitive answer hence the post. **

Got my E53 4.8 back on the road after selling E70 40D Stopped BMW insured warranty due to mileage (112k), I believe they'll refuse most claims on the basis of mileage and age so no point paying over the odds.

Now that there's no warranty, I'm looking to get the gearbox oil changed, not noticed any major problems with the box but sometimes lower gear changes aren't that smooth and in certain situations going on a slight slope it stays in a lower gear longer than necessary. Also considering the mileage, decided to take the plunge.

Question is, can anybody recommend a garage within West Midlands area (I live in Stourbridge) with solid experience of doing this change? My X5 is 2004 4.8iS facelift, so it's ZF trans.

I've already used Euroservice in Wolves many times for other general mechanical work and also heard of Autobahn in Halesowen, SimtekBM in Tipton and DriveTransmissions in Birmingham. But need some recommendation specifically for the job in hand.

Thanks.

Any suggestions...?

BM Euroservice changed the gearbox oil on my 3.0d twice and never had any problems, go to them.
