- Remove the spare wheel first.
- Jacks and/or engine crane.
- JCB, fork lift or some other kind of loader.
- Get someone else to do the lifting, you can share the workload by doing the grunting!
- Alternately you could dig a pit so that you can reverse the Disco into then you won't have to lift the door at all.

well I don't have an engine crane, JCB, for lift or other kind of loader - hoping I will be able to use ratchet straps from the beams of the garage to help with the weight.....
I guess its just a case of undoing the bolts on the hinges and the one on the bottom for the 'arm'. Is there is a plug for the wiring or will it be a case of cut and re-solder?

From what I can see in RAVE for the 300tdi, there are two locations for the connectors for the tailgate door, both on the vehicle, not the door. One is behind a trim panel in the loadspace and the other is in the door jamb. It does look as if all the door connections are in the door jamb. I don't have your Disco version so I can't be absolutely certain.
Oh, I also forgot to suggest skyhooks.
- Connector C415 is for the number plate lights, wiper and central locking
- Connector C438 is for the screen heater
- Connector C437 is for the high level brake light
Oh, I also forgot to suggest skyhooks.

When I changed my hinges I was surprised how quickly gravity took over and helped the door to the floor. Get help it is t least a 2 man job unless you have forklift crane or sky hooks!!
