4.4 TDV8 Coolant Change - Has anyone actually done one?

Searching the forum far and wide, I can't actually find anyone who has posted they've done a coolant change and by which method. The coolant in my vehicle looks pretty fresh but I have no receipt to say when it was done so, if easy enough, would just replace anyway.

Why LR didn't just fit a drain tap like on the 3.6, I don't know.

Reading the service manual, it refers to removing various hoses and hose clips in order to perform a drain down, plus using an airline fed vacuum pump, which most independent garages and home mechanics won't have.

Under 'partial draining' the workshop manual refers to just removing the one hose from the oil cooler. Has anyone done this partial drain? How many litres did you get out (I.e. is it even worth it if you can only get 3 litres out or is it worth it if you can get most out). 2015 Range Rover Autobiography 4.4 SDV8

I removed the top hose and dropped the bottom hose off mine for it to drain, it dumped most of the coolant parked on my drive facing downhill. I jacked up the front when I refilled to get the air out. Did the bleeding as per posts on here it was all fine. BMW i3 Electric Car
