In the absence of a flush machine, emptying the oil twice is the usual way. It doesn't do a full change, sadly, as most fluid is "stuck" in the torque converter. Might be worth leaving that until you can get to a flush-equipped garage. Changing the pan/filter doesn't seem to be that useful.

and a Power Steering fluid flush..? Siphon off some, add new, siphon off some, add new, repeat. Alternatively, drop the lot, fill, bleed etc. Visitor from fullfatrr.com

Gearbox fluid - don't just drop from the box and refill, you won't get enough out. Replace all of the fluid. It isn't a complex or difficult job to do and you do not need a flushing machine. It's easy enough to do this yourself with a pressure sprayer, some hose pipe and an hour of your time on your driveway.

I’ve just had a major service on mine and it only has 77k but is 14 years old. Coolant change, brake fluid change, cambelt + oil pump, front diff fluid change, TB & rear diff done last year and finally some rectification work.

How come you're replacing the steering rack, Derek?

Replacing the rack as there's a bit too much play in it for my liking and my mechanic picked up on it being very worn at the last inspection and advised that replacement would likely be needed.
