I purchased the resonated, droning shouldn’t be an issue
I have had the resonated Milltek on my 110 P400 for over 8 plus mos now and I have had zero drone. The issue is with the 90 chassis. The resonator is much smaller on the 90 vs the 100 chassis and it leads to the reported droning. No issue on the 110..
Last week I did a oil change for the rear e-diff, it's almost 4 years old not done that many miles but for peace of mind.
Looking for the Castrol BOT 720 / LR019727 recommended by JLR, little hard to find and relative expensive.
So checking the specs I went for Ravenol MDL
Drain plug comes out with a 1/4" ratchet. Filler plug uses an allen key 8mm
The oil was dirty but without metal debris, the magnetic drain plug keeps it out of the oil.
Refill with a pump 1.2 Ltr / 2.6 pints , closing up the filler plug and done.
So maybe to early, but better safe than sorry.

@Defendit..
I'm coming up on 50000 miles soon and looking to do the same. Thinking about the transfer case fluid too. What sort of pump do you use to fill. I have an 8.8L Mityvac but think a smaller one designed for filling smaller volumes would be useful. Thanks for the info on the fluid you used
Is it feasible to fill it with just a funnel or is access a challenge?
All the specialized tools, pumps, etc. I've purchased lately is MORE than cheaper than taking it to the dealer. Keep up the great work in helping me stock my shop with obscure equipment!
Today I traded-in our chip-shortage 2023 Defender for the 2025 I ordered in May. Nice to have the same features as our 2021 such as powered steering wheel adjustment, clear view mirror camera, USB ports, 700 watt sound, etc. Oddly, the sunglass holder is still missing. The new drawer inside the opening in the center console is a nice addition. I have no idea why people make such a big deal about the bigger screen. The images displayed on it are the same size as the smaller screen and the smaller screen looks more integrated with the dashboard.
