From memory the fluid and parts alone are more than £200. Mackies charges something like £450-£500 for the D3.

As for using Guy, I live in Wigan and am happy to travel to Guy. After all it is only time and fuel, and you know the job will be done correctly.
There are other experts but I like to use the ones that have looked after me and proven their worth.

Same here, but @ Manchester, and for Mackies. Travel really shouldn't be a barrier if you want it done properly.

I want the job done asap. or should I wait till June to take it to Guy? you all know how it is when these little car issues irritate you. esp as she is my daily driver.
why June, because, it will def take a whole day out of my schedule and being 45 years of age means there are more pressing issues such as, taxi dad, gardening, shopping with wife, DIY, studying for my final year MSc

Wait an get it done properly... go cheap, pay twice

Mine is on 58k at the moment so I will book mine in at Mackies in the summer. What better than a slow cruise up to Glasgow early morning to get your gearbox serviced and then the slow cruise back down. Wonderful. Distance should be no worry in these things....
