£194 and change, including my 25% discount (2 hours labour plus fluids etc)
apparently they had 15 pages of instructions on changing transmission fluid
they did say that the fluid was dirty so looks like it needed doing (only 50,000 mile car) and the trans fluid is supposed to be sealed for life and doesn't need changing.

I don't think any fluid will really last for life and I thinks its crazy the Vauxhall say it will.

When I asked my dealership about changing the gearbox oil I was told if I do I'll void the warranty on the box, I still did it anyway and Vauxhall lifetime warranty reactivated the warranty even with the stamp being shown in the book.
