Gearbox and diff oil change - price

Post by Z4_LZF » Tue Mar 12, 2024 4:34 pm

It’s about time my 17 year old, 70k miles, 2.5 manual Zed, required a gearbox and diff oil change.

Been quoted £300 by an indie. Does that seem about right??

At current labour charges yes probably.
Couple of hours work, plus oil, plus VAT, plus disposal of old oil, etc., etc.

A few years back I’d have done it no problem.

Can’t be bothered scrambling around under a car now!
