Auto Gearbox Specialist Bournemouth-ish area

[jcelee]

Anyone had a good experience with an automatic gearbox specialist down here?

The car in question (57 plate Megane) has been somewhat neglected by its owner (not me I hasten to add!) and needs a good service / cambelt change etc too but keen to get an honest opinion on the gearbox before spending money on other things. One local specialist has refused to look at the gearbox before changing the cambelt!

It shows "Check gearbox" will not change up into top and makes occasional thunking noises...

The one in Soutborne has always had a good reputation.

I used these people on a Range Rover, albeit 10yrs ago, but according to the website it's still the same person - Peter.

Just a cautionary note you need to be careful with auto boxes that whatever is done includes sofware review/upgrade we had a pug 307 with auto box problem which I had done at main dealer in the end because other garages could not do the software upgrade it needed.
