Amazing!
What a transformation!
I think in all they used 6 litres of gearbox fluid (of 9 they got in just in case), so not a full flush, just a drain & refill.
But as soon as I drove off I could tell it was much much better. Smoother, quieter, right from the first yard.
Drove around about 15 miles giving it a "good thrashing" in both auto and tip modes and it was as smooth as silk. 
I also got them to delve into the ECU box and fit the cruise control ECU that I bought from A8parts recently; apparently it involved taking EVERYTHING out so I'm glad I didn't decide to tackle it myself!
That works too, so I'm a very happy bunny.
