Carefull Mike, dont start that one...!!!
choose between ATF Dextron 2D, or MTF94, Land Rover started the r380 gearbox off on ATF, then looked for a better lube... along came MTF94 which is what they recomend now, or you could get some 'difflock evo'

MTF94 - land rover will want £10 a litre, but you can get it off ebay in 5 litres for about £35 delivered, that'll be just enough for two changes, or yours and yer mates.

Drained the old oil out and replaced with MTF-94 this morning at work.
The old oil was a browny/black/red colour if that makes sense?!? any idea what type of oil that was?
Also there wasnt too much filings on the hedgehog magnet which is a good sign, will see if there is an improvement on the way home later.
