Bought 2003 Disco today... transmission went out on way home

Are you sure P0772 wasn't P0722? Here are the Trouble codes from the RAVE and im not seeing 0772.
Transmission Trouble Codes.pdf
1) you should check all the fuses. There are at least 2 fuses that are used for the trans ECU, I think it's fuse #12 under the hood and #24 inside.
2) Check the Auto Trans ECU and make sure everything is plugged in. The ECU may be your problem. You can buy a used one for cheap to rule the ECU out as your problem. Here is where it is.

3) Crawl under the truck and look closely at the wire harness near the trans for damage.
If everything checks out with the 3 steps above I would move on to checking the lock-up solenoid MV 3, the speed sensor. Also, you might want to check the ECU connector to make sure the pins that supposed to get power are getting power.

----This shows the speed sensor in step 6.pdf
Your codes don't point to this, but your symptoms sound like a possible bad XYZ switch. You can take it off and check it for damage, or just buy a used one for cheap to rule it out as the problem before going into the transmission for the solenoid and speed sensor.

Are you sure you have enough Transmission fluid in there? Did you let the truck sit over night to cool, then check and fill the fluid with the engine running?

Yes. It's better with a helper.
block the wheels, pull the parking brake, and put the foot on the brake. Start the truck, have them go through all the gears (P,R,N,D,3,2,1) stopping at each gear for a second and then return to P. Leave the truck running and remove the fill plug. If no fluid comes out then add more until it does. Put the fill plug back in before you turn off the truck
(It might be smart to have extra transmission fluid and a pump on standby so that if you find you are low you can add it right then and there.)

Automatic Gearbox: Use Texamatic 9226, ATF Dexron 11D or Dexron 111 for refill and topping-up
Use the Dexron III.

You can at check to see if it will need more fluid before you go buy anything if you want. It might have plenty of fluid and not be your problem. At least save your receipt and don't open anything until you are sure you need it.
