S80: Gearbox Recommendations for gearbox oil change Bedford/Cambridge

[seanc]

Any recommendations for a garage/specialist to do a Geartronic oil change around Bedford/Cambridge?

[Splodger]

You've got Horton cars north of oxford

Indeed - Graham's my local specialist and did ours.

You could take a different tack and use these (more local to you) guys too:

Same gearbox, and a well-respected Indy in the Saab community.

Thanks guys. Horton Cars are closer, but I'll have to contact them to see what they say - did you get yours done Splodger?
The Saab guys look like an interesting find too, so I will chat to them.
People keep saying don't bother changing, but there's enough posts on here to make me think it's good preventative maintenance.

Then go to Graham at Horton. No-brainer.

(as is a change if your fluid is dark and looking/smelling burnt. If it's still bright, then don't bother.

I bought my car recently from Graham, comes across as knowledgeable decent guy and would have no problems in trusting him.

Thank you for that, I will phone him next week and see what he thinks.
It's a shame there's no easy way to check the oil to see its colour.

I assume you've already tried our local independent Volvo specialist - Kings of Witcham.

Don't want to shot myself in't foot, but I'm a long way from Ely!
