Just to set my little mind at rest, I got the old girl's gearbox oil/filter and rear diff oil changed today.

Old oils weren't in bad condition actually, so probably been changed in the past

AND no bits of metal or swarf seen

Anyway, for other other Essex folks out there, I can honestly say I'd have no problem recommending Mark at A&M Gearbox Services in Springfield (just outside of Chelmsford) - they were recommended to me by Chelmsford Carriages (a known garage according to other forum posts). Really nice chap, very helpful, and fitted me in at very short notice, and a decent price too

If anyone else is looking for an Essex based gearbox firm, they are:

Does she seem to be changing smoother than before. I certainly noticed it when I had my X308 done.

A little, but the old stuff looked pretty clean, so I don't think it was changed that long ago tbh.

I just wanted to get the fluids changed for my own piece of mind, as I had no knowledge of when it was last done. A little bit of preventative maintenance for both the car, and my sanity! LOL!!!
