Yeah, I know of someone who I trust.

Ben Williamson, know's his 8's inside and out. I was pointed to him through this forum and won't take my car to anyone else. My D2 S8 is with him right now for some work.

PM him on the forum, Revo_Ben.

Check around other posts here to make sure that's not the place that potentially filled an '8 with the wrong gearbox oil first.....

I wouldn't do longlife unless your car racks up lots of motorway miles - if you only do 10k a year then better to do annual servicing as the oil costs a lot less and personally I'd rather have my car in to be checked over annually rather than 18 months or more.

Ben's working for himself from his friend's unit in Burton Upon Trent.

It's not, the place to AVOID is Vasstech in Rugby. We still can't say for sure due to the amount of crap that was still in there (we used alost 20 litres flushing it), but we still believe they used the wrong stuff

An advert was just on the radio now for Vasstech. Saying they only use OEM parts!
