8 speed gearbox flush help - either Suffolk, Essex or Dorset
I am heading south in mid November and want to get the gearbox on my 8 speed D4 flushed. Can anyone please recommend somewhere where I can get this done? I am willing to travel within an hour of Ipswich or Bournemouth.
Thanks for your help!

Thanks for the nod Beno. I got in touch and this what they said : “At this moment in time no. Not sure anyone can at the min. The 8sp have a mechanical thermostat built into the system that will need bypassing not so anyone has cracked that yet”
Now I thought that some very innovative folk had sussed it- am I wrong??
