first of all, have you actually checked the level properly?
Engine on, run through forward and reverse gears then check

Engine running, you don't have to actually drive anywhere - just select drive neutral reverse, then check
excellent, il do it tonight and see what the level reads,
How do i top it up ?
Is it normal red dextron auto fluid ?
Car changes gear fine, just thought i would check the level, as ive just bought it,
Also,
The diffs have level plugs i guess ?
Transfer box does this have a level ?
My first 4x4 ! lol !

top it up down the dipstick tube a bit at a time and keep checking the level.

Unless your disco is a 98 D2 then u check the level via a gear box level plug.

Any make that's to the old Dexron llB or the newish Dexron lll spec will do.
Then ask the question where has the fluid gone to, you must have a leak.

In total around 9 litres but half or so remains within the torque converter when draining the gearbox but for topping up you go by the level indicated on the dip-stick.
