Z9 and z89 should both fit. The shorter Z89 (by 40 mm) is used to clear suspension IIRC.

Z86 fits P76 engines with P76 timing covers. Range Rover timing covers are fitted to P76 engines in RRC's so that the fan clears the chassis cross member, and unsurprisingly run the correct RRC oil filter. Z9's are standard fitment until the introduction of sandwich plate oil cooler adaptors.

Thanks for the replies.
The pic is the one I took out, so the larger Z9 should fit ????

I use a Z9 on mine.

Do you have a manual with the correct bleeding procedure?

I.E. You know about the nipples on the inboard side of the front callipers?

Thanks.
Yes have a manual.
Notice one on the top, then outer and inner lower ones, on the fronts, single to the back.
Just don't seem to be able to prime the MC.
