Thread: Servicing ZF

Unless you feel there is a problem with it, just change the fluid and filter yourself.

Hi Joel, I know ZF's are pretty bullet proof, but it is a wise move to keep it serviced as repairs can be costly if let go.
At the recommendation of my trusted parts supplier, I took my 89 Rangie with ZF auto in to J Pringle Automotive in Nth Melbourne. Not sure where you live, but that is pretty close to the city.
They send all their Land Rovers there for auto repairs/servicing, he is very experienced with them.
They had it for the morning, cost me $132 to have it properly inspected and serviced, (that was in 2004), actually I'm very overdue for another visit.
I have no affiliation with J Pringle, just a happy customer!
They are at 27-35 Leveson St Nth Melbourne, 9329 9260.
Hope this helps, Cheers.

I'm not really comfortable with doing it, it would be my first time. I'd prefer to learn by seeing how someone who knows do it.

Thanks Peter, I'm in the eastern suburbs but I'll look up their location.

unless your going to adjust stuff its no harder than changing the oil in your engine except you remove the pan to pull the filter out, then replace the filter, gasket, tighten the bolts to spec and refill with oil....

a routine service is really that simple.... (really picky people will also remove the lines to the cooler and flush them and that sperately)
