:scratching_chin: Just had a go with the link you posted.

Castrol reckon 75W90 for a 2006MY TD4.

LR Handbook says MTF 94 which, I believe, is completely different.

I can't trust the Castrol site on that evidence.

That's why I suggested trying the three options, I was just trying to nudge the OP in the right direction rather than just give a plain answer, making him work for his tea. I'd go for MTF90 or ATF at a push.

Not necessarily the same problem, but my clutch bite point had been very low since I owned the car, to the point where it is sometimes reluctant to go into first. No amount of bleeding helped this (I now have a small air leak into the system somewhere as it needs bled every two months) so I cut off the pin that the master cylinder push rod clips into on the pedal and re-welded it a couple of mm closer to the bulkhead, which has had the effect of raising the bite point up to a respectable level.

Its a two minute job (fiddly though!) to get the pedal off, so if I had your problems, I would bag a spare pedal from a breakers and try that before taking the box out again.

No mate, I rather think Castrol have got it wrong, do you have an owners hand book for your motor??, have you asked a Land Rover dealer?? Oh! sod it, it's MTF or at a push ATF that you need, try it and see, I'm confident your problem will be sorted.
Don't really know why I got involved with this one, where the hell is our guru when needed most???????????
