Used to use a suction thingy when servicing my TD5 too, makes a potentially messy job a quick clean and simple job.

| Removing oil filter without special tool |
|
On getting the oil filter out I found pulling the lug on the filter with a pair of pliers gently was quick and easy. Useful as in dusty Uganda we are changing oil every 5000km.

Just a quick tip, you can actually slip the filter element into the plastic housing and just screw it back in normally, the plastic lug will find its way home on it's own, honest!

Looks like LR have made a mod, but on my MY08 you will need a 15mm ring key/open ended spanner as well.
They seem to have replaced the captive nuts on a pair of the bolts on the sump guard.
Changed my oil today
