Haven't you been under your truck yet? Do you not know where your tranny is and all that must be done to service it? If not, you might want to have a shop do it cause with a Disco 1, it is a bugger, you need to remove the cross member and usually at least loosen the "Y" pipe, just to drop the pan.

As for your p/s fluid, your's does use Dextron 3, or you can switch to Vavolines synthetic power steering fluid. Either way, you should flush or drain the old fluid before replacing with the new.
