Is that for a full flush, Tunny? Or just 'replace as much oil as we can' ?


That was for a flush by them as far as I'm aware

Flushes are generally done with a machine like this:

Whether it captures 90% of the oil in a Disco 8-speed box (as it claims to do for normal auto boxes, the Disco 6 speed box for example) I don't know.

JAS are on with the fluid change and all previous comments/feedback is spot on. Very friendly, professional and knowledgeable team of Steph and Joe. Nice comfy reception area, good Wi-Fi and a nice cuppa from Steph. Will see in an hour half or so how the car feels after the auto box dialysis 😉

Just driven back from JAS and the difference is fantastic for my vehicle. Was only on 60,000 and wasn’t that bad but it’s super smooth now and can’t even tell some of the changes. The JAS machine changes 99% or more of the oil which works out at 8.6 litres. They kindly gave me the print out from the machine which I’ve attached for peoples reference. Before anyone says 8.6l isn’t enough, the 6 speed box uses more oil than the 8 speed, or so I’m told.




I wouldn’t hesitate using them again and certainly recommend the change. Joe is certainly very knowledgeable and Steph was super friendly/professional. Worth every penny.[/img]

£239 for 10litre of Genuine ZF oil and filter etc

Or £169 for 10 Litres of Genuine ZF oil

https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=ht...2403967051

Could this be a cheaper way of doing a 8 speed gearbox flush?

If anyone is in any doubt as to getting this done, I would certainly recommend it. My Disco feels like a different vehicle and was the best bit of maintenance I’ve done to a vehicle. 👍👍👍

Mine is just on the 51k mark but it’s been on a farm before I purchased it and looks to have done some far share of towing.
Hence I want to get the box flushed but due to being under extended warranty would rather use genuine ZF oil just in case.

They appear to be good, and I am thinking og giving them a try and the machine looks fine, however I wonder how they manage to bypass the thermostatic valve to the cooler to allow the complete system to be flushed?
Or do they get it hot enough to open the valve?

I think most flushers have now sorted the thermostatic valve issue Thumbs Up
