You'll loose about 4 litres of ATF. The LR fluid is Texaco N402 IIRC. I use Carlube ATF-U in mine, and any other Jatco box I change the fluid in.

Also if you're replacing the drive shaft, only use LR or OE shafts, as cheap ones last no time at all, even less time on a lifted FL1.

Cannot find where to fill the box back up, seen a clip on youtube where you pull a plastic bung out but its not there

It is hard to see - just in front of battery tray and slightly to centre. Thanks to Hippo for the below photo - you'll need to carefully pull the plug out and then use a funnel and tube to fill slowly. Instructions for level checking, temp, level check etc are all listed on this site.

Did you fit genuine or OE driveshafts? Aftermarket shafts are known to vibrate as I said at the beginning of this thread.
