hi the metal one is landrovers with the same gearbox unless your thinking of doing some serious off roading , then I would'nt bother the plastic one work quite well and if you use genuine zf part never leaks, only after market ones do. also the filter in the plastic one looks larger, the metal one is a smaller serperate filter cheers Joe

Hi all, just wanted to get the job done this time. I say that as I have seen there is an alloy gearbox pan cover. This costs about £125.00 and the filter kit is £56 when you do an oil change. Are they any good? Do they fit? Has anyone used one? What would your opinion be? Despite what Jaguar might advise, I had mine done at 60,000 miles (about 7,000 miles ago). I would recommend that you use genuine Jaguar Parts. Best Wishes and Regards, John

I agree in theory that parts not need should not be charged for. Having said that I think it might be a rather delicate negotiation to achieve a full refund of the parts costs. Good Luck and Best Wishes, Regards, John

Hi Mark, straight back to the garage if you ask me. The parts they changed obviously did not need changing, so charging you £650 to replace these parts that did not fix the problem should be instantly refunded.
