All the disc players are DVD, and should take any of the discs.

Unless you put the disc upside down in the drive, or the disc itself is damaged, there should be nothing to update. When you slide the new disc the first time in the drive the satnav's firmware gets updated to the latest version automatically and after a few seconds your screen comes back... I am in the US and cannot confirm that part # is correct, but it does "sound" right, unless the disc you purchased is for the Freelander 2 (which uses a DVD based navigation as well, but different discs AFAIK.)

I haven't really got to the bottom of the problem here.

I've just updated my 07-08 software to 09-10 and all worked fine. With the system on, I ejected the DVD and inserted the new one. The screen then went grey with a message saying "Preparing to install System Software. Please Wait" and a green bar walked across the screen. It took a couple of minutes to install.

Yes, with the 05-06 (and I think 06-07) software you could do the diagnostic code (1473? - I've forgotten) hack to enable the sat nav buttons when the vehicle is in motion. With the 07-08 sat nav disk this hack was disabled, but you could update the software of the sat nav to enable Navigation on the move. With this, all buttons on the sat nav are enabled when in motion.

The inability to automatically pair was a fault that sometimes happened, and was fixed. And yes, all contacts and call lists (10 dialled, 10 missed, etc) of the phone (I use an iPhone 3GS) are now there and weren't before.
