ATF Dipstic Levels

First off excuse the daft questions but me disco didnt come with an owners manual nor have i had chance to get meself a haynes yet.



After purchasing me disco a few days ago ive give it a check over oil levels etc etc but reading the atf levels in the auto box is either worrying or im being a dipstick :D ive read somewhere that to check the auto box levels you have to fire it up stick it in 1st then into park so on and so forth then read it on the dipstick, could someone clarify this for me please and tell me the procedure i dont even know if it should be running or not to check this.



If this isnt the case it seems like my auto box is well overfilled and i mean well overfilled fluid level comes several inches up the stick (hence the worrying) as ive just bought it i wonder if the auto box is shagged or on its way out and its just been overfilled so that it works it seems to work ok its nice and smooth through the gears, kicksdown ok, fluid is nice and clean with no particles in it so i dont know???? i dont know sod all about auto's tbh oh and if anyone has a spare owners handbook gathering dust i could give it a loving caring home :)



Cheers
