Best not to use anything else.

Think GG means LR have diff. part No.
Rover is : VYK00040 (about £21/5litre +vat. This is enough for change)
L/Rover ; LNR402
In spite of what even auto specialists say, there is no exact equivalent to N402. (Ashcroft told me to use a Castrol fluid. WRONG. Castrol themselves told me they have no suitable fluid for the Jatco box)
Stick ridgidly to the change proceedure. Cant drain total content of box, you should get about 4.5 litres out/refill. Stick ridgidly to the change proceedure.Draining when hot and running up to operating temp after refilling before finally checking fluid level and topping up.
Only had a glance through Haynes but thought I saw fan removal with radiator. Have not heard this from the many members who have replaced motor, it's always been bumper off.
Could other members comment please
