    Andrew a good point. How many LC200 owners who tow have gone to the expensive of fitting a torque converter lock up switch. I know of quite a few and whilst they all say it helps keep things cooler and improve fuel consumption when towing why not have a better transmission in the first place

    One more for the D4

    A & Automatics

    Hi Guys,

    Just for your interest I did a full tour with the Land Rover Club of Victoria of A & B Automatics in Dandenong , Melbourne. A & B Automatics are an authorised ZF dealer and reconditioned of ZF automatics for many of the vehicle manufactures, as well as Land Rover. They actually carry out advanced repairs of ZF auto's for Land Rover dealers as well as supplying fully reconditioned autos with warranty.


    Anyway getting to the point, they advised the cost to fully service a D4 auto, including oil, filter, metal pan, examination of old oil and check ( and recalibrate if necessary ) the auto ECU - would cost $900. They recommended under " normal' vehicle use the transmission in D4 should be serviced every 80,000km.

    It was an exceptional interesting tour, from how they fully recondition vale bodies to testing ZF autos on a specific " auto trans" dyno for correct performance.
