Do it yourself it's really easy.
I did mine.... didn't take long at all. I bought my fluids from a landrover indie and set to it in the garage.
You Don't even need ramps if you put the vehicle in off-road mode.
i even did my gearbox..... check the pic it was a little overdue

Thinking of doing this myself. My car is an 07 v8 supercgarger. Could anyone please tell me how much fluid I will need for front/back diff (I no these are both different fluids, and I'm prity sure mine has the locking rear diff) and also for the transfer box. Do I need to buy new drain plugs or are the old ones sufficient? And does each one have to be torqued up to certain setting? And I believe this is a fill till spill on all three. Thanks

Dan, that's not the correct ATF - it shouldn't be red.

Nope. Front is Castrol SAF XO (or similar non-LSD 75-90 fluid) and requires 0.61 litres which is not up to the fill hole.

see how-to here: http://www.disco3.co.uk/forum/topic32281.html

Obviously ignore the bit about the fuel filter change! This has front & rear diff oil change info and good pics. Every home should have one!
