I was of the impression that they were supposed to be sealed for life the gear boxes?

Yes, they supposedly are, but I would not be happy running the original fluid over 70k.

Was tempted to go down the "top view" route, but a lot more hassle, front/rear PDC and rear camera will suffice!

Selling a pair of E70 facelift mirrors, complete with original glass. They are Space Grey, but the covers can easily be swapped for your own if a different colour. They work perfectly, and are in really good condition. Apologies for images, trust it to rain today! Looking for £200 for the pair, woul...

I would be changing the gearbox oil, and sump/filter.. Changed mine last week at 80k, and the old stuff was black (which I expected) but like water compared to the new. Don't forget it does a lot of work in there!
