I have been using Millers for the last 4 years. Yep Millers C1 and only time will tell but using their oils in all my transmission as well. Only one not Millers is the power steering as yet to see spec matches.

They answer email re their products as well and that price is probably cheaper than OPIE who I was using FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

Yeah use their Classic Mini Sport oil and lead replacement additive and used their diesel oils before in old XUD Peugeot s and was always impressed. What quantity does the 2.2 engine take? Landrover - turning owners into mechanics since 1948

Yes its a complete fit up and thats why I tracked down other C1 and found Millers did it, now others are coming on board. At some point Castro will get the message as it will cost them in the long run setting up that deal. FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years
