Check in neutral, engine running. A slightly overfilled auto gearbox is
a happy gearbox, so unless it's massively overfull I would leave it.

On a Land Rover you check it in neutral, when cold with the engine
running.

Prior to checking the level you run it through all the gears a few times
and then put it into neutral while you check it. Don't forget to put the
hand brake on

It's normally listed in the owners handbook if you have it. It's
probably best to check there rather than assume that the Trooper gearbox
is the same as a Land Rover one.

Then you too would be wrong I'm afraid.

Never EVER trust what you read on usenet (unless someone like Dave
White says so...) I double checked, N, running - well pretty much
what Dave posted actually...
