Big thumbs up to Gordon at 4-Tech

Post by pugwash » Thu Jun 10, 2010 7:04 pm

Just like to thank Gordon for the excellent "Megaflush" job on my gearbox the other day.

Having missed out on Slindon last weekend where I was hoping to get it done, I decided to travel up to Wisbech while I was working at Duxford this week.

All I can say is "WOW what a transformation", I'd known the box wasn't quite right for a little while, with "clunky" gear-changes, particularly at lowish speed and the juddering effect during moderately heavy acceleration, but I didn't think it wasn't so bad, maybe I was just getting used to it.

Anyway, with 14 litres of nice fresh gear "blood", it's so much smoother now on the changes, the juddering has gone and overall it just feels so much nicer to drive and quieter, I'm convinced the MPG has improved too.

Overall, I'd say it was money well spent, especially since it should improve the life expectancy of the gearbox - and the permagrin :lol:

Nearly forgot to mention the added bonus of 3 flash indicators, clock in Info display and lights on indication all activated while Gordon's Faultmate was plugged in to reset the gearbox ECU :whistle:

Good stuff, I didn't know Gordon could do all those other bits, I'll have to get them done when he does my flush.

I didn't know the lights on indicator and clock in info display could be activated, is that true on a MY05 car? 3 flash indicators would be nice as well, but the other two would be excellent.

Wish I'd known he did those other bits! :headbang: Next time!!! Also seems a flush is in order from all the comments since Slindon.

Its amazing what I can do! Well, actually, on a serious note I do have Faultmate as well as other legacy diagnostic systems for Land Rovers eg: T4.
I`m pleased to hear that the Autos are performing as they should.

Yes I can enable 3 flash indicators, clock in dash (although you have to put up with the FBH light on when lights are on), daylight running lights, easy entry seat. The list just keeps growing. Obviously can do all the more mundane things such as calibrating suspension heights etc.

As the original pioneer of the 3-flash indicators and the clock in dash MY07 software change that you are now performing for your customers, could I ask a favor from you please Gordon? :mrgreen:

I would love to get my auto box mega-flushed, but we've already established that your tubes won't reach all the way to Northern Spain :lol:

Do you know, or can you find out if there exists, any other workshops that have the same equipment in the Barcelona area?

I seem to remember that you bought the kit from the US - is there any way to find this info out if you're still in contact with the manufacturers?

If not don't worry, but I thought it was worth a try.

Cheers!!
Paul

Paul,

Its not beyond possibility for me to make a trip so I won`t dismiss the idea. Unfortunately the company we dealt with for the purchase of our machine have disappeared, I`ll put out some enquiries and see what I can find.
