for a flush you really need to clense the system with new oil which is sacraficial then refill with fresh also replacing the sump pan which has the filter built in...no use changing oil and not the filter which could be contaminated

is the filter/sump panTLO has left the building.......

well spoke to grgb today and i'm driving to Bristol for 730am to get a MEGAFLUSH done! a few forum members(you know who you are)have given good advise and even if my issue isn't this in my D3 at 64k miles its only a matter of time!
How did you get on? Did the megaflush cure your problem Now an ex-D3 owner after 7 happy years. Miss the car but not the big bills

Hi
yes the magaflush, certainly helped, everything feels alot smoother,the oil they pumped out was Black, so it was worth doing IMO.
Still think somthings slipping somewhere tho, so after reading another thread could be a torque convertor required too!!!

I've got my D3 booked into GRGB on Tuesday for a Megaflush, they have quoted £160+VAT and said they will be using Castrol heavy duty ATF. Does anyone know what Castrol heavy duty is and if it is within spec? I can't really find much on the web about it?

I would suggest you make sure the ATF mets ZF spec which I doubt.
There have been failures caused by the wrong ATF.
Here is the ZF doc:

Just to clarify for all concerned:
Compatible ATF is Dexron VI, we have used this many times without issues. NOT ALL OIL COMPANIES PRODUCE THIS, AFAI CASTROL DO NOT.
We have now negotiated a deal on the OEM Shell fluid and all flushes on D3/RRS will now inclde this as standard.

Hi read your post with interest, I suggest you have a look at mine ."torque convertor / gearbox problems possible rebuild advice required". I think it may help you. You may be wasting your money with double flush, as I did twice. Good luck.
