I had the transmission MEGAFLUSHED on the CHEAPEST 4.4 TDV8 Range Rover in the UK! 

Another video, another massive improvement to the Rangie. Who's thinking about a megaflush for their truck now?!

Good to see you had it done by the legend that is Bodsy 👍🙏

Nice to see what's involved and that it's done with care and attention. Definitely on my list for mine - hopefully next year as a 10th birthday present for it!

Hi, awesome to see it being done by a true professional who knows what there doing , massive respect 👍👍

I needed to service my transmission recently and because of this video was able to talk intelligently with my specialist about transfer flushing versus drain and fill. He currently doesn’t have the ability to do the transfer method, but said that he will probably need to look into adding that. Thanks for the information.

Thank you for your time and effort putting this video together.

Hi , so that,s it done then , all sorted . A very well informative video ,thanks to all who took part .

Great to see Ian doing one the flushes I’ve read so much about. Bodsy’s brake bible was a huge help for me on my D3 in Tassie, so thanks Ian if you get to see this.

Ian did a flush on my L322 last year and it made a huge difference. He’s a good guy and I must get him back up north to do the flush on my D3 G4.

Agree about the FBH remote being the best upgrade ever and mine was provided by Bodsy, thanks to the great Disco3 forum.

Top man Bodsy. Knows his stuff

Wow. Thanks very much for this. First time I ever saw this being done.

Bodsy... LR royalty. Great to be able to access the services of an enthusiast expert like this.

I recently serviced my trans, not a megaflush, but just a fluid and filter change and WOW it shifts way better now.

Here I am watching another video for a vehicle I do not own hahah

Bodsie did my D3.. legend!

Ian did mine other day ,lovely guy knows his stuff ,getting him back soon do few more things on it ,recommend him

that MPG is impressive, for such a beast.

Ian has been to do all oil changes to gearbox, transfer etc. result is incredible difference. Recommend Ian 100%.

Had Ian round to do mine today as a result of watching this video! 👍🏼

Tranny oil change helped my RR ZF6HP28 transmission as well. Same issues - hesitation during low speeds (roundabouts, turns, etc.). Some hesitation remained, however. Further improvement was achieved by updating the software on the transmission and having the Adaptive Functions from the transmission cleared before the SW update.

Funny how I just did a full gearbox service 3 weeks ago on my 2007 3.6 tdv8 L322 , at 110000miles , better than zf themselves do , complete with subsonic flash cleaning all the sensors and new shift dampers , the car , with full service history , had never been serviced on the gearbox (a lazy South African dealer approach) , it is now truly like a new car .

Great video Sam, I've only just subscribed but been watching for a couple of weeks doh. Very good input on how to look after your RR, I don't own 1 yet but hopefully will in around 6 months from now. I love em lol keep up the good work mate 👍

Great vid, Sam. Will be buying an L322, first RR, in a few months and vids like these are invaluable to me at the moment. 😁

Here in the states we have so few that might offer this service. Would be nice! May as well just buy my own machine! Good vid. Well done. Thanks.

I'm very not a fan of flushing the gearbox. Deep flushing is draining the oil after the filter, so some of the more gritty crap will still be inside. (and you keep the old clogged filter) Gearboxes are all exhibiting a little of metal wear, and it's collected on a magnet inside. You have to remove it to clean it, it helps to keep the oil free of abrasives particles. I just do a couple of oil changes if I find the oil to be a little black. If it's really bad I drop the pan, change the pickup (filter) and really clean the pan and magnet. Then I do my oil changes every 30000 km or so. Never had any problem, even with very worn gearboxes. I also found the shifts to be a lot better with dexron VI on dexron III and II gearboxes.

Thanks Sam, I have contacted Ian and my 11 year 119k Disco 4 that has never seen such work. We will get his services later this month. Having Ians flush done on the gearbox, transfer box and diffs. Like your RR mine has no known faults but I too feel this may help smooth things out and be good preventative maintenance. Cheers

Inspired me to do the same with a 100k miler RR Sport - now just need to find a mobile flusher in Wiltshire....

I change my gear box oil every year , my original gear box lasted 96k as I wasn’t aware about changing the oil , put a reconditioned gearbox in it that has done 114,000 miles because I changed it oil every year

Nice one. Just changed my bridge seals, tube seals, pan and filter and then made my own simple flush device. All done in a few hours yesterday and then set the level from cold today. A good job done 👍

Agree with you totally Sam. Unfortunately where I live they still retail at around 20K pounds so will stick with my original Discovery3, which I absolutely love

Really interesting stuff 😎😎

Today Ian and Max worked on my 11 year old Disco 4. I had a Gearbox flush service on a 6 speed box and both transfer boxes had an oil change. Very pleased with their work. Both me and my old motor feel great. No scary surprises after pleased to say after 119k and 11 years running on the same oil. Oil out was dirty, yet no major metal only on the plug just small metal contaminates. I drive easy anyway but it just feels and drives so good having this done. For preventative maintenance, nice practical mods and just for having really nice guys work clean and safely on your motor you should try these chaps. “If you have a LR or a RR These guys do not cost a fortune, even if you don’t have a problem, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire The B Team”. Cheers

This is something that is VERY high on my to do list for my Freelander 2

Nice video mate 👍 As I’m sometimes accused of being a cheapscate… I’ve previously done the DIY version where you change the oil 2 or 3 times & achieve a fairly decent result via dilution. The mega flush does look pretty good though 👍

That’s another good job done, don’t think I can get someone out here to come and do mine. Might have to do it myself.

Ah! Bodsy! I need to get him out to do me D4!

still got my early l322 to change the oils on change engine oil and filter every year regardless of wether it does 3 thou or 7 and trans every couple or years not lost a gbox or engine yet

Brave going underneath without jackstands, airbag burst on mine whilst underneath, and lucky was on a stand

Just got a date for this for my RRS TDV8 so hope to see similar results.

great informative video

Hi Sam your end of video montage I completely was bumbstruck when I saw my hold home well mummy and daddy's house going past in the back ground and needed to check if my rangey was in their driveway how small life is all the best boz

Hi Sam, great video. Ian does a good job. I was trying to catch the name of the Fluid he recommended in place of the ZF Lifeguard 6 but couldn't make out what he said. I've asked him on FB but he's pretty busy right now. Here in OZ the going price for LG6 is around AUS$50 a litre!! I'm hoping to find a cheaper equivalent fluid for my 2011 RRS L320 (with ZF6HP26), but its a minefield. Trying to get a reliable answer from manufacturers/suppliers is a PITA!! Keep up the vids. Cheers, Chris.

Good information can put that in my tool box just need the RD now 😕😕😕😕

Good ad for the Megaflush, but it would have been useful if you had shown where and how you make the pipe connections to the autobox and heat exchanger!

Interesting video, is there still an internal filter to change?

This guys not to far from me might get this done next year ,just put a deposit down on one of these it’s done 119000,no idea if it’s had this done ,but looks well worth it ,

Did this to my Disco 3 and it was like getting a new car back. Are you going to get an engine flush too? Again did this with my Disco and it ran a lot better after.

What a great guy. Fascinating to learn more about the process. Had mine done yesterday at an official ZF service centre (mobile service not reached our parts), I had a stamp in the book saying oil had been changed 3 years ago, but I was unsure of this as I’d get slight hesitation / jerkiness when under load uphill. Turns out although oil was reasonably clean, they’d previously used the wrong spec oil. After the flush, car is noticeably smoother and quieter. Cost was around £500 which included original pan and filter. I didn’t think this was horrible given it was through a main dealer - they gave me a lift down there and fetched car back when ready etc. interestingly they ran the car up on a rolling road - I guess to run through gears and get oil up to temp before setting the final level?

I've read some of the questions regarding the filter, personally I would change the filter, this will give a good indication as to the state of the clutches, aswell as the sediment in the oil pan, a clogged filter will restrict the flow of the fresh oil, true you'll never get all the old oil out of a gearbox in a car. A flush, filter change, then refill will reap rewards, unfortunately there's not many garages that truely flush a gearbox, it's just too expensive for the customer. I think the sump and filter are one for a RangeRover, I had to do an oil change on my VW Pheaton a few years ago, this was done as per ZF's instructions, I ended up using around 18ltrs of oil, I bought a 20ltr container of oil, so much cheaper than the 1ltr bottles provided as part of a kit. I follow this channel which has really opened my eyes when it comes to automatic transmissions, ru-vid.com/show-UCYAAY7V9ifGS7Q8S35EFVnw

Has your R R had the gearbox upgrade ? Anything from about 2003/4 to 2009/10 I think went for upgrade, had one of mine done about 2008. If I’d waited longer I’d have heard your gearbox was the 8 speed so it’s after the upgrade 😂👍

Great to see Sam, thanks for filming. Interesting to see the filter doesn't get changed. Guess its not needed. Had my Mega Flush done at Dartford Transmissions. Also saw noticeable difference. Just done 500 miles road trip on the new gear oil. Didn't miss a beat averaging 35mpg what speed were you doing to achieve 37mpg? Oh and Never knew i needed cooled seats before!! Next on my list is clean rear arches and rust prevention, new AC compressor and front pads. Looking forward to the next video. Keep up the great content. Might need to start my own!!

I'm surprised you didn't change the filter, surely that will hold 190k miles worth of crap and the new oil will be circulating through that. It's a simple swap when the box is drained.

What about the gearbox oil filter that’s part of the sump didn’t you change that as well as a flush??

I done a full flush my self on my ZFHP6 it took 18 Ltrs before oil was Cristal clear while moter running and cycling through the gears D-R back n forth until clean oil is dumped out , reconnect Transmission lines and top up while Running, test drive let it cool down recheck level, Running, then I drained sump then put a new sump pan filter in thats a job in it self put back together refill Transmission test drive again and top up again Running, job done cost me 26Ltrs of ZF Transmission fluid and sump pan Filter The Original one refitted , Transmission runs so smooth now can hardly feel Transmission shifting at all 3yrs ago still Runs like a brand new Transmission. My Discovery 3 has only 110.000 miles on it now, Mint

Thanks for the vid Sam , made me decide to get mine done , have you got a link for the company please ?iam also thinking about a remap , great stuff keep up the vlogs ,mick.

Hi, why is the gearbox filter not being changed?

Hello, so with a flush you’re not dropping the pan and cleaning it or changing the filter?

Hi, in this video you didn't change the Transmission Pan right? In the Manual Instruction it is said that we must replace the Drain Plug also, do you replace it or not? Is this necessary? I've tried to buy the Drain Plug but can't find it anywhere. Please help! My RR (tdv8 4.4 l322) also have some oil leak and I'm trying to replace the oil in the Transmission also. I'm looking forward to your reply!

Hi Sam, In this model do you change the Transmission Filter? I saw other model 06 - 09 they change the Transmission Filter Pan but didn't see that on your video!

Hi Sam, great video again mate, just couple of questions.. how much did it cost? And did he change the filter? All the best mate, Jim.

Good video - just tryinbg to find someone like that. What areas does he cover?

Hi I am looking to change transmission solutions in an gm gearbox L322 TD6

Great video, I’d wish I’d flushed mine before the gearbox failed, where are Megaflush based?

Is it only Landrover he does or does he do any other makes i.e. Mitsubishi Shogun.

How much does this service cost for an 8 speed gearbox? Where are you based?

I’m just wondering how level “level” needs to be… do we just eyeball it, or is there perhaps something in the diagnostic tool that will tell you it’s level?

So how come you didn’t have a filter change? (Sorry if this has been asked before)

Hi Sam can you tell me what you paid for your mobile gearbox flush.

Wow great video who was the company u used to mega flush your gear box would appreciate your help ?

Great video, can I ask what tyres your running and if they are they noisy on the road

The man (Ian) is next to impossible to contact, however that looks to be a first class job done. My 07 plate L320 with 125k on the clock could well do with a transfusion, what is the cost,

What’s the cost?

Hi Sam, really enjoying your videos. Very helpful when I changed my wood finish recently. I have only had my RR about 6 months and it has only done 48k. I can’t believe your MPG after the mega flush! Can I just ask; 1. What was your mpg on a similar trip before? 2. Is it still as good a few months on? I can’t get more than 31 and that’s a 100 mile trip mostly motorway. I’m thinking maybe a mega flush is the way to go? Sub 50k Mike’s but 10 year old oil. What do you think? Carry on the good work. Cheers, Andrew

what was the cost of this flush please

What sort of cost is involved? Ballpark, as video is 2 years old! Just need a yardstick as I'm in Australia and have asked a LR specialist for a quote, and want to know if I'm being taken to the cleaners or not :-) Thanks for your videos!

Didn't change the gearbox oil sump. That needs to be changed as it has a built in filter and swarf magnets.

Hi Sam do you know the make of ramps used and cost? Cheers Dean.

Hi can you tell me where Ian is based and his details as I cant seem to locate them . Top posts btw ,!

Sam great video just one question why didn’t he do a filter change ? I thought that was part of a transmission service ??

Thanks @sam for sharing another great video, am a discovery 3 owner myself and keep getting that urge to buy a 4.4 TDV8 or even a petrol V8 seeing I don’t do many miles , think in life you’ve got to own a V8 at least once , lol, ps, also really enjoying the esarco video

How much was the megaflush?

Do they offer this on bimmers?

Oil turns black pretty quickly in engines and gearboxes so you cannot tell much by the colour really.

Will these guys travel to barnsley for this job ?

how much did it cost

Is there a filter to be changed?

No filter change ?

not being rude, how much did the flush cost please. I've had a quote for my discovery 3 for £380 thank you

Any idea how you contact Ian? Ive tried on FB message and email. Puzzled.

Excuse my ignorance here but isn't there a separate filter on these Rangys ? Also it used to be the case you can't change more than about 70% of the oil as it's trapped inside the torque converter ?

How much that cost as need it done on my tdv8 3.6 any contract details for that guy also that done yours would be greatful 🙏🏻

Should be sub 50k miles of course!

Do the company cover north wales as I have a discovery 2 in need of a auto box clean and service. Please give me his contact details. Thanks

My 2011 TDV8 8-speed tends to "slip" between 2nd and 3rd, even when warm. The revs rise 2 or 3 times up towards approx 1700-1800 rpm before it finally kicks into the next gear. Does anyone else's do this? The car is new to me but i've never experienced it on the other three (BMW) ZF8s i've owned. Is it normal?

Sam where’s the link to the transmission guy ??

37mpg! My 2010 RR 3.6 TDV8 Sport can just about manage 30mpg on a run. Now I'm thinking there's something wrong with it!

were is bodsy based I'm north derbyshire just wondering if he's close enough

How much would this cost on your vehicle? Also was the filter changed?

It means that the guy has accepted to flush a 200'000 miles gearbox. Has it hesitated? Often, guys do not want to fluch after 100'000 miles!
