can anyone recommend somewhere in North Essex (near colchester if possible) that can do a gearbox flush on a 2005 geartronic v70 d5?

How much was that then please?

I had the "Transmission Service required" message up today although all is still working as it should, so I contacted the main dealer here asking how much an ATF flush would be.
They've quoted @£58 to run diagnostics first and want my vehicle reg before giving me a quote for the flush.

Wondering about doing the flush myself and also buying the Volvo iCarsoft i906 Multi System Diagnostic Tool for about £90 before the dealers rip me off.

I understand it may be more than just a fluid change needed but worth a try first wouldn't you say?

Also, any links where to buy the replacement green clip and O-rings for the ATF return line.

Also, would this ATF be OK? Spec includes jws 3309:

I got my fluid here = http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/221694155211, type JWS3309 as per volvo spec, much cheaper and arrived within 2 days.

I re-used the O rings and green clips and they've stayed perfectly dry.
