No, I don't quite happy with a 2 litre diesel, assume it's got a turbo, no idea.

I've got a book and some genuine mats you're welcome to if there's any way to get them over the water to you without costing silly money/export aggro.

A result then, although as said, I would be inclined to give it another flush and drain, to dilute some of the carp in the torque converter.
I have seen some grubby and burnt ATF before, but that looks like old engine oil. Does it smell burnt at all ?
This is another reason why I think lifetime fill of oils is ridiculous

It didn't smell burnt, no metallic muck in it, just filthy, and an insufuissant amount, (spelling?)
Will check grade of ATF we have at work and reflush, can't do any harm.

Is this of any use? Though for earlier version, covers TD4 and think mechanicals largely unchanged. You are welcome to it.

Yep, sure enough I put dexron 2 in the box, looking at the last container we had, that would have been compatible, so what's in its to rinse, I'll order some stuff. Thanks again.

@Barking Mat
Look at this https://www.dingocroft.co.uk/acatalog/Rec_lubes_FRLNDR1.htm
Dingocroft know their stuff, never given me any duff service in the over 25 years I've been using them.

If you go on Comma Oil's website and do a search on Freelander 1 TD4 Auto
https://app.commaoil.com/products/results/91009915
they give this
for the autobox
Looking at their page for that oil
https://app.commaoil.com/passenger-vehicles/products/view/180/MVATF5L/
Looks to be their modern version of Dexron III
(Your mileage may vary ... )

You say you use Motul at work
This
https://www.motul.com/se/en/products/multi-atf
is what they recommend for the Frogloader 1 TD4 Auto

That will at least give the box a good clean out. Flush it then put the new stuff in, cross fingers.

Yep, but no, we have Motul ATF, in 20 litre cans, the last one which is now empty, corresponds, Dexron 3, but the current can we're on is Dexron 2, which doesn't apparently, I'm still scratching my head.
Though I'm pretty sure I'm just going to order 10 litres of Dexron 3, unless anyone has a good reason not to.

I'd go as far as saying what a bunch of tossers.
Not often I say that, wow, what a different attitude of people.
It's a strange place - LZ
Lr4x4 was where I settled for LR stuff. Quieter there these days though.
Yes - an acquired taste I guess- I could never see the attraction in ripping each other to bits, but there must be a clique there that keeps it alive
