You better flush out that DOT3 with 2 quarts of DOT 4 and did you bleed the master cylinder before you installed it?

Why did you put in DOT 3 if you knew that it ask for DOT 4.

I would change it if I were you. Land Rovers are very picky when it comes to fluid types.

Even with the wrong fluid shouldn't you have SOME brakes? Ofcourse, if it wasn't bench bled before installation... it's not going to work anyway.
