I am going to have to lay about 4 sq metres of Amtico tiles.
They are much thinner than those I laid 40 years ago, so the floor has to be
very even.
What I have looks as though it is a layer of ply or hardboard rough side up.
It is pretty even but I need to ensure it is as good as I can get it.
Can anyone recommend a suitable pourable materialthat will self-level?

Watch the videos on Youtube, use a spiked roller to move it around, dam
the doorways (it will leak through the tiniest of gaps) and follow the
manufacturer's instructs exactly - especially about priming the floor first.
However, as good as it is, I've observed it works best for a 5mm deep
pour - you should get it to millpond flatness. 3mm is just about
do-able. Much less and it won't self level that well. And this is the
best product I know of (and have used).
I'd say get decent ply of a good thickness. That should be as level as it can be
