Hi, I have a 2004 TD5, took it to get the transmission serviced and got back a crock, the so called mechanic ( I use that term loosely) refused to take responsibility. All he said was the young fella did something to one of the lines and would not elaborate. It will not change into top until its at running temp, it shudders when at the low end of top. Can someone give me some sort of clue what the problem might be! cheers
 
They refused to tell me anything other than the (young guy did something to one of the lines) I will check the oil level and see if thats the problem.
As ronsealdeath said check the oil level. I don't know what 'lines' they're on about, assuming it's an auto, an oil & filter (strainer) change is pretty straight forward. They could have damaged a oil cooler line somehow for which you would have a leak.
 
The recommendation is for two oil changes, as you can only get about half the ATF out when draining. Strongly suggest that you get them to change the filter and refill, using the correct procedure, (engine running and run through the gears whilst still filling), and then after some miles a further change, not the filter, only the oil.
