daviesbike thanks for the offer of helping obtain discount parts.
Would you mind breaking down what each part cost if you get time, and also, do you have a price for Lifeguard 8? don't worry if not.

My Audi garage for same stuff from TPS charged me around 36-37 pounds each for the filter and the gasket and 18pounds per litre of the original ATF which was originally there from the factory as I didin't went with the sucky thing due to possible problems with it, so whatever what was left in the toque converter was the same oil what they topped up with.

I did it just for the sake of it, haven't noticed much difference as my gearbox thankfully is in tip top condition and was smooth as hell even before changing the oil.

Filter was crystal clear same as oil. Some dirt was stuck on the pans magnets, but thats about it.

It's good to add this stuff while changing the ATF, I've heard lots of positive opinions mainly from A8 and Q7 owners.

Yes I did and I've meet few A8 and Q7 owners who used it and they were very pleased with it. It worked very well on the gearboxes which made that horrible noise while shifting when they floored it.
It's also recommended by the Audi's Master Technicians I know as a good practice as it works well as a maintainer as well.
It won't do any harm at all, no matter what gearbox it is.
