Places like Rimmers sell it, also Land Rover parts places do.

If you are in a hurry Halfords do an equivalent - Gear Oil EP 75W/80 GL-4 - http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/SearchRouter?srch=gl-4+75w%2F80&action=search&storeId=10001&catalogId=10151&langId=-1

I bought this stuff on ebay. It's quite pricey but was recommended at the time. It's been in for a year and has been fine:
Castrol Syntrans Multivehicle 75W90 MTF GL4 Fully Synthetic Gear Oil - 3 Litre

Thinking of this my self but how do you put the plug into the filler hole after you have filled it as it needs to be on level ground or would it matter if you only put 2litres in

hi, to be quite honest I don't know, this will be my first attempt at doing this, I will jack up the front and rear ends and sit them on axel stands so it is level and see how that goes, will let you know how I got on.

I used the trolley jack to raise the car and remove the wheel.
I then took the drain bolt out and lowered it to let the car to help the oil drain.
The jack was used to level the car prior to filling with oil.

hi there-just an idea regarding filling the gearbox..I made up a filler system using a length of blue washing machine tubing( its the right size to go in the filler hole) .
Long enough so that you can feed the open end out through the engine bay slot ( where the black grill fits) , then attach a piece of flexible tube from an oil filling funnel .
Tie up the funnel to the opened boot hinge and pour the MTF 94 slowly until it drips out of the filler hole in the box.
Keep en eye on the tubing to make sure it deosnt fall out of course.
I think the box only takes a couple of liters
