ZF Lifeguard 6 is the proper oil. Its very expensive.
I am just worried that a garage who was not enlightened to the requirements of the ZF 6 speed box, and just presumed its a normal auto and put normal ATF in it.

hi
not a landrover garage.
they done filter and change oil change first and as no change decided it was tc as looks like a common problem.

It might help if you fill out your vehicle profile and tell us something about its history, eg mileage, and has it worked hard towing etc.

If its a full LR service history then you can be sure it won;t have had an oil change since new. 144k is an awful lot to ask of the oil.
Have they fitted a new genuine TC or a recon?
Lots of possibilities I'm afraid. Worst case scenario is the gearbox is worn out too.

If as Gareth has said the wrong transmission fluid has been used it the gearbox not work correctly
