ZF8 LR4
Hopefully someone could help me with this frustrating issue.
I am trying to get the transmission oil sump from Disco 4 with the 3.0 supercharged. Is there any trick to get it out before removing the exhaust? The oil sump is with the built in filter
Just missing 2 or so centimetres to get it out
It’s too late now to continue with it

There is a Video on 'You Tube' by Powerfulukltd who do this on a D4. It maybe relevant in your quest.
They cut the pick-up pipe to remove the sump using a hacksaw blade and replace with updated parts to reassemble.....It may be worth a look in your case?

Thanks. That does work for the 6hp. 6 speed. The 2013+ comes with the 8 speed. The long sticking pipe is already upgraded bij LR to a short one. Only the issue now with 8 speed the sump is bit bigger. I am afraid I need to remove the cross beam that holds the transfer case in the middle. But then... the exhaust pipe

My Bad.......something to note for myself when the time comes as I have an ZF8 also.
I have been preparing for heavyduty maintenance by buying heavyduty jacks ramps and axle stands....and a reciprocating saw as backup.

I even put a few beers in the fridge at and started with the transmission at 18:00. Removing the screws and draining took only half hour. From there, a few hours to find out how to get it out. Just like a unsolvable puzzle. Unfortunately don’t deserve cold beer now. Better go to sleep and dreaming to solve the puzzle.

The workshop manual says that the transfer case support crossmember needs to be removed, no mention about the exhaust needing to be removed though.MY14 TDV6

Thanks Kelvo. This was indeed my next thought. I will give it a try today.

On the six speed 6HP you need to cut the plastic pipe and install the metal version sump with separate filter.
I don't know (yet) for the 8HPDiscovery 5 tdv6 HSE Corris Gray Outback Engineering Limited Edition IID Pro MV License

So can the filter be removed and swapped on the 8 speed box then without removing the cross member?
Might work out cheaper than a flush?

I definitely drank al the beer. It was so easy by doing it my own way.
The exhaust pipe the goes from right to left, one cut there and unscrew the other side. Remove exhaust with the o2 sensore a side. The rest is easy.
No shacking gear change. Drives like new. Was really needed.
