Correct, you are a looong way short of needing to change either the trans fluid or the engine coolant.
Just check both and top up if necessary.
Very easy with the coolant, a lot more difficult with the trans fluid, you need to warm the engine/trans up, get underneath, remove the undertray and then remove the difficult to access trans fill plug, then the fluid should be dead level with the bottom edge of the plug hole such that once full it starts to leak out.
JLR say the trans fluid is "for life" and never needs renewing but lots of experience has shown (and ZF themselves confirm) that it should be replaced at or around 60,000 miles.

+1. I find it remarkable that despite superior braking performance, the Porterfields generate so much less dust than the OEM pads.
