full service history means now't when LR say it's sealed for life so isn't on the service schedule.
Yes its most likely first service. That grey film is most likely clutch material. Very common wear

See how she runs first. You’ll never get it all out in one drop so there still be some friction material in there could be good for while. Is better than having done nothing

it will be in the cooler as well so if you do have to change the box that has to be replaced as well because you wont get it all out

This torque converer and assuming box had about 90k at failure.
Fluid and filter had been done 20k prior
Sump emptyed and refilled 10k prior
I got 2 shudders in wales 500miles from home took my chance and just carried on home and took it off the road till i got another gearbox. Once i removed it and when i opened it up thats all the metal that was there.

I wouldn't jump to conclusions but read on here about the GM box in the meantime. The fact it got to 108k miles is good going, especially if it hasn't had regular oil changes. Unfortunately if it is that far gone the fresh oil might push it over the edge. People tend to upgrade bits like the valve block. Bemble is the gearbox God on there things. If he doesn't know about it, no-one does.
Yes I understand that oil change could kill it. That's played on my mind ever since I changed it. I made sure to follow filling procedures with temperature etc. I think I removed 5.5 litres, and stuck roughly the same back. That's see. Drove it last night completely different changing gear... could be the final push. )))) oh well I've got it sorted if it blows up.
The replacement would come with cooler, torque converter and gearbox

Make sure the replacement box has had the upgraded sonnex valve block or you could be boing it again.
I'm doing anything till this one fails. But ty for the advice
