Default Gearbox oil change in East Anglia (UK)

Can anyone recommend where to get a full, inc torque converter, gearbox oil change and filter done in Suffolk, Cambs, Essex areas?

Not exactly in your area but I'm having my transmission fluid and filter changed here right now. They say they've done this many times and give 12 warranty to the work (excluding any other gearbox faults).

I use Tim Revett in Bury St Edmunds. He is an independant Jaguar specialist. His details can be found at Tim Revett Prestige Vehicle Servicing - Car Servicing - Bury St Edmunds, IP32 7HX

Great guys, many thanks. The car goes into a main dealer for a service and a thorough check to highlight anything that needs doing. Anything I'm not happy to do myself, like the box oil, I'll contact your recommendations.

What sort of price does this cost?

They quoted £480 including fluid, filter (which incorporates the sump) and labor. Seems fairly reasonable to me as it's a quite involved process (see Sam's How To video on this).
